- Located near the town of Svobodny, the AGCC is a $10 billion joint venture between Russian petrochemical giant Sibur and China's state-owned Sinopec, designed as one of the world's largest polymer manufacturing facilities.
- Nineteen workers remain hospitalized with moderate to severe injuries, while 104 others received treatment for minor cuts and bruises; the facility stated, "Despite prompt medical attention, one of the victims could not be saved."
- Emergency services are conducting "controlled burning" of residual gases to extinguish the blaze, while consumer protection authorities detected no toxic chemical spikes in Svobodny and reported no threat to nearby towns.
