Russia-Ukraine War: Indian Billionaire Lakshmi Mittal's Steel Plant In Kyiv Hit By Moscow's Missile


Date:

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Hours after Ukraine launched more than 800 drones at Russia, a Russian missile strike hit Indian-origin billionaire Lakshmi Mittal's ArcelorMittal mining and metallurgical complex in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine's largest integrated steel facility.

Reuters, citing a statement from ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih on Telegram, reported that the attack targeted the steel plant in President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's hometown. The attack reportedly came in response to a Ukrainian drone barrage, killing two people and injuring 14 workers.

The company said, "As a result of the attack, key production facilities in the power generation and blast furnace sectors have been damaged, and the plant's production processes have been partially halted."

The strike was part of a broader overnight Russian assault across Ukraine, as Moscow and Kyiv intensified their long-range attacks. Several people were killed in attacks elsewhere, while strikes in Kyiv sparked fires and left civilians injured. Both sides have been deploying hundreds of drones against energy facilities, industrial sites and military targets well beyond the front lines.

This is a developing story. More details awaited.
