History
On the night of 8–9 November 2024, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, Ukraine launched a drone attack on the Aleksin Chemical Plant—part of the state corporation Rostec—in the Aleksinsky District, about 120 mi south of Moscow, causing a series of explosions and fires at the plant which manufactures ammunition and explosives for the Russian military. Russian sources did not acknowledge the attack's success, "as is common following a reported attack by Ukraine on one of [Russia's] military sites."
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Aleksinsky District is one of the twenty-three in the oblast. The town of Aleksin serves as its administrative center.
As a municipal division, the territory of the district is split between two municipal formations—Aleksin Urban Okrug, to which the town of Aleksin and 154 of the administrative district's rural localities belong, and Novogurovsky Urban Okrug, which covers the rest of the administrative district's territory, including the work settlement of Novogurovsky.
