On the evening of November 26, 2023, a massive explosion was recorded near the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant, also known as the CTZ-Uraltrak manufacturing facility. The location is critically responsible for manufacturing engines used in a number of different vehicles used by the Russian military, including all of Russia's tanks. It is also responsible for manufacturing spare parts for field service and repairs.

At this time, it's unclear if the plant itself was attacked, or if there is another cause for the explosions recorded at the site tonight. There is also some speculation that the explosion was caused by a malfunction at a nearby power transformer site responsible for providing the entire area with electricity.
