Ukrainian drones hit Russian plant that makes missile fuel, SBU says

KYIV, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Ukrainian drones struck a plant that makes missile fuel components in the Tver region of western Russia, an official from Ukraine's SBU security service said on Saturday.

The official said that components for missile fuel for Russia's X-55 and X-101 cruise missiles and other elements for diesel and aviation fuel were produced there. The drone strike caused a large fire at the plant, the official said.

"Even a temporary shutdown complicates the production of rocket fuel and reduces the enemy's ability to maintain the intensity of shelling of our cities," the official said.
