The attack targeted the Apatit JSC facility in Russia’s Vologda region, damaging a high-pressure pipeline but causing no fire, according to Governor Georgy Filimonov.
The sulfuric acid leak was quickly repaired, and there were no reported injuries or major disruptions to production at the PhosAgro PJSC-owned plant.
