A synthetic rubber factory in Russia's Tula region was attacked and caught fire overnight on Dec. 24, according to local residents and regional officials.
Residents in the town of Efremov said the local synthetic rubber plant was hit, posting images and accounts of a fire at the facility. The plant is located in Tula Oblast, south of Moscow.
The Tula regional governor confirmed that an attack had caused a fire at "one of the enterprises" in the region but did not identify the facility or provide details on damage or casualties.
The source of the attack has not been independently verified. The Kyiv Independent could not confirm the reports, and no immediate claim of responsibility was made.
Earlier this year, the pro-Ukrainian Atesh partisan group claimed responsibility for an attack on a communications tower at an air defense factory in the city of Tula.
