One Of Russia's Largest Petrochemical Plants Is On Fire In Tatarstan Following A Drone Attack

A massive fire broke out in Nizhnekamsk.

On the night of November 15, drones attacked the city of Nizhnekamsk in Tatarstan; a fire broke out at one of the facilities following the strike. According to preliminary reports, the target was “Nizhnekamskneftekhim,” one of Russia’s largest petrochemical plants.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine citing OSINT sources.

Residents of Nizhnekamsk report a strike on one of the city’s industrial facilities, presumably Nizhnekamskneftekhim. The video shows a fire, and according to eyewitnesses, the attack continued even after the first strike.

Russian authorities have not yet released official data on the consequences of the attack.

"Nizhnekamskneftekhim" is part of the "Sibur" holding company and is one of the largest petrochemical enterprises not only in Russia but also in the world. The plant produces synthetic rubbers and plastics.

In 2025, the plant produced 3 million metric tons of petrochemical products. The new EP-600 complex is capable of producing up to 600,000 metric tons of ethylene per year.

Attacks on the Russian oil industry have continued since late October. On the night of November 13, a massive drone attack sparked a fire at the Volgograd Oil Refinery. Subsequently, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed that the Defense Forces had struck “Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka,” one of Russia’s largest refineries with a capacity of about 15 million metric tons of oil per year.

Just a few days earlier, the Ukrainian military struck five of Russia’s largest oil refineries: Omsk, Kirish, Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod, and Yaroslavl. The Saratov and Novokuybyshevsk refineries were also targeted.
