History
It was founded at the end of the 13th century[3] and first mentioned in 1348 in the Nikon Chronicle. Aleksin was sacked by Khan Akhmat in 1472 during his invasion of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Because of its location on the Oka River, it was, for a while, an important inland port. Aleksin was granted town status in 1777.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The town expanded in the 1930s with the construction of a chemical plant.
During World War II, Aleksin was under German occupation from 29 November 1941 until 17 December 1941.[4]
On the night of 8–9 November 2024, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, Ukraine launched a drone attack on the Aleksin Chemical Plant—a subsidiary of state corporation Rostec—about Template:Cvt south of Moscow, causing a series of explosions and fires at the plant which manufactures ammunition and explosives for the Russian military. The air raid began around 9 p.m. with explosions reported around 3 a.m. on the 9th November. Cascading explosions at 1 p.m. due to chemicals catching fire from the earlier strikes led to authorities evacuating workers. Operations were halted at the plant. Russian sources did not acknowledge the attacks success, "as is common following a reported attack by Ukraine on one of [Russia's] military sites."[5][6]
