Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal’s Ukraine steel plant hit in Russian strike, 2 killed, 13 injured

The strike is seen as a retaliation for a Ukrainian drone barrage that killed two people, injured 14 workers, and forced a partial halt to production after damaging core energy and blast-furnace operations.

Russia, meanwhile, has continued launching missile and drone strikes against Ukrainian cities and critical infrastructure.

Work is ongoing at the site to deal with the aftermath of the attack and assess the extent of grain losses and damage to production buildings and equipment.
