Metallurgical plant Kametstal has halted operations following a Russian missile attack overnight on September 5.
Metinvest reported this, according to Ukrinform.
“Overnight on September 5, Russia launched a ballistic missile strike on the Kametstal plant in Kamianske. Five people were killed and four more employees were injured in the attack. Key production facilities and infrastructure were damaged, forcing the plant to completely halt its operations. This is yet another attack on a civilian Metinvest steelmaking facility and further evidence of Russia’s systematic strikes against Ukraine’s industrial base,” the company said.
According to the statement, during the attack, Russian forces used a tactic they had previously employed against Ukrainian industrial enterprises: only a few minutes passed between the air raid alert being issued and the missile strike, leaving insufficient time for all employees to reach shelters.
The holding company emphasized that there were no military targets, military equipment or military production facilities on the premises of the Kametstal.
