In a recent drone attack on November 20, 2024, Ukrainian Defense Forces targeted an EFKO mayonnaise factory in Alexeievka, Belgorod region, amidst ongoing military tensions. While the factory produces seemingly civilian products, analysts point out its dual-use capabilities, as it houses a soap production unit that contributes glycerin, a key component in explosives. This strategic hit reflects Ukraine’s efforts to disrupt Russian military production, which has increasingly relied on such facilities for manufacturing UAV components.
