Metinvest reports that its Zaporizhstal plant is under Russian attack and its operation has been completely stopped. The attack by ballistic missiles also killed seven plant workers.
This is stated in the company's statement.
They say that the Russian strike caught workers on the way to shelter immediately after the warning was issued. Among the company's employees there is also 21 wounded. The organization assures that it provides them with the necessary support and remains in contact with the families of the deceased and the injured.
As a result of the attack, energy division and infrastructure of Zaporizhstal and other Metinvest facilities were damaged, as were the main and auxiliary capacities of the coking and blast furnace productions.
Currently, the metallurgical plant's operation has been completely halted, and other production sites have been switched to reduced capacity. Specialists are assessing the attack's consequences, carrying out necessary emergency repairs, and estimating the timeline for restoration.
As a reminder, 11 in August the Russians struck the city of Zaporizhzhia with the Zircon anti-ship missile, guided aerial bombs, and also with KN-23 missiles from North Korea.
