During the Russian attack on Kyiv on the night of August 1, the production facility of the “Autostrada” group of companies came under fire; two employees were killed and another was injured.
According to Ukrinform, Maksym Shkil, the founder of the “Autostrada” group of companies, reported this on Facebook.
“Last night, a ballistic missile and a cruise missile struck the ‘Autostrada’ production facility in Kyiv,” Shkil said.
"The worst part is that two of our colleagues were killed: concrete mixer driver Roman Trokhymets and forklift driver Ruslan Hrenchak. Another colleague of ours—forklift operator Yuriy Oliynyk—was injured. He is currently in the hospital, where he is receiving the necessary medical care. Fortunately, his life is no longer in danger," Shkil added.
According to him, the facility’s employees promptly provided first aid to the injured and managed to contain the fire that broke out after the strike on their own. Thanks to this, they were able to prevent the fire from spreading to production facilities and avoid even more casualties.
