Exilenova+ reported that during a Ukrainian attack on a chemical enterprise in Dorogobuzh, Russia, between 4:16:09 PM and 4:45:58 PM UTC on February 26, 2026, local residents heard explosions and saw a glow near the Dorogobuzh combined heat and power plant (CHP), with one large building sustaining serious damage. The strike targeted a probable coal crushing and transfer unit essential for the plant's fuel supply, according to verified materials reviewed by Exilenova+. Exilenova+ confirmed the damage through available materials, noting the building's role as a key fuel supply element. Local reports indicated explosions and glow in the CHP area coinciding with the chemical plant attack. An absence of steam from chimneys suggests the CHP is not operating or is in shutdown mode as of the report. This development follows a series of prior windows today with no new verified military actions, including Ukrainian drone routes reported earlier and ongoing Russian air defense losses noted by DroneBomber, as well as a Kursk air threat alert at 2:16 PM UTC.
