Russian strike on Kyiv's Vizar plant ignites propellant stocks, blasts 2 km radius

Published

A Russian strike on the Vizar machine-building plant in Vyshnevoe, Kyiv region, produced large secondary explosions and fires with blast damage across a 2 km radius, five streets affected, and more than 600 residents evacuated. Rybar’s analysis identified the likely ignition source as stocks of solid rocket propellant — ammonium perchlorate, aluminium, and polymer binders used in booster charges for surface-to-air missiles and cruise missiles — and explicitly rejected social-media speculation about depleted uranium or radioactive contamination. The plant produces conventional SAMs, aviation components, and drones; footage from the site showed abnormal in-flight trajectories from finished munitions ignited by the blast.
