Ukraine strikes Russian plant ahead of Melania-brokered ceasefire

Ukrainian forces launched an overnight strike on a Russian petrochemical plant in Togliatti, causing an explosion and fire.
Togliatti mayor Ilya Sukhikh confirmed damage to several industrial facilities in the western Russian city.
The city in western Russia ‌is home to the country’s ‌largest carmaker ‌Avtovaz and major ammonia ⁠producer Togliattiazot.
It comes after the White House announced that Melania Trump secured a localised ceasefire in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky.
Starting on 29 October, Russia will pause military action to permit humanitarian aid and prepare civilian evacuations.
