These attacks include a March 10 strike with British Storm Shadow missiles on a semiconductor and microchip factory in Russia===Bryansk, which killed six people. On February 25, Ukrainian drones hit a chemical plant owned by fertilizer producer Akron in Russia===Dorogobuzh, reducing Russia's fertilizer output by 5%.
