Ukrainian drones attack big Russian petrochemical plant in Urals

Ukrainian drones struck Russia’s Salavat petrochemical complex in the Urals, according to the local governor. The governor expects output to normalize within days, implying likely near-term supply disruption risk rather than a long-lasting shut. The event adds geopolitical risk premium for energy/petrochemical inputs, though the stated recovery window should limit broader price impact.
