Another explosion occurred at the oil terminal of the Novoshakhtinsk plant in the Rostov region. The incident took place amid ongoing strikes on Russian oil refining facilities.

Ukrainian drones struck Mi-35 and Mi-8 helicopters at the Taganrog-Central airfield, 40 km from the border. Satellite imagery shows one Mi-8 destroyed and one Mi-35 damaged. The strike was part of a multi-day series of attacks on 14 Russian regions.

Russia's grain exports in August fell 2.5-fold due to port logistics disruptions, while the largest agro-holding's profits crashed by 99%. The Kremlin is preparing subsidies, but SVR analysts consider them insufficient to restore logistics.

On the night of 24 August, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck the Kamensky Plant in Rostov Oblast — a solid rocket propellant factory for Uragan, Smerch and Tornado-S systems. Three Ozon logistics centers were also attacked at the same time.
