Ukrainian drones struck Apatit JSC fertilizer plant in Vologda, owned by PhosAgro, damaging a sulfuric acid pipeline.
The leak was contained, but five workers were injured; this is the second strike on the site this month.
Global fertilizer prices have doubled since the Middle East war, with the Strait of Hormuz shutdown heightening supply‑side risks.
Russia and China’s export curbs, plus the strike, could amplify price volatility across agricultural commodities and food security concerns.
