Ukrainian drones strike Russian chemical plant after Easter truce

Apr 14, 2026

Kiev [Ukraine], April 14: Ukrainian forces targeted a chemical plant in northern Russia with long-range drones following the end of a 32-hour Orthodox Easter ceasefire, officials said on Monday.
The target was an ammonia facility in Cherepovets, about 400 kilometres north of Moscow, according to Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukraine's drone forces, writing on Telegram. The plant produces hundreds of thousands of tons of ammonia, ammonium nitrate and nitric acid annually. The materials can be used in the production of explosives.
On the Russian side, Cherepovets Mayor Andrei Nakroshyayev confirmed an attack on an industrial site, but said there was no danger to the city itself, the TASS news agency reported. The city lies roughly 900 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, highlighting Kiev's ability to strike deep into Russian territory.
Russia and Ukraine largely adhered to a ceasefire over Orthodox Easter, from Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening.
While Ukraine reported thousands of violations - mostly along the front line, including drone activity and shelling - there were no major strikes involving missiles or glide bombs. But Kiev said Russian forces resumed long-range drone attacks far into Ukrainian territory shortly after the truce expired at midnight.
