The Anninsky ethanol distillery, located in Russia’s Voronezh region, was hit by drones just moments after a previous attack.

These plants were used to produce fuel for the explosives used by the Russian military in its war against Ukraine.

Shocking footage showed how the flammable site exploded after the targeted air strike.

The power from the strike forced debris to shoot into the air.

The Governor for the Voronezh region revealed two employees at the Anninsky site were injured.

This fire also damaged several buildings and machinery around the alcohol plant.

A second plant, in the Novokhopersky district of the same region, was damaged by the drone strike but it did not result in a blazing inferno.

The local governor said a roof and tank were damaged in the second attack.

A Ukrainian official explained why these factories were important targets in the war.

The head of the Centre for Combating Disinformation at the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, Andrei Kovalenko, revealed these alcohol plants have a much sinister purpose.

Kovalenko said: “Russian distilleries are used to produce not only alcohol, but also military fuel and explosives.”

He added: “These are all military objects, despite being disguised as something else.”
