A German-owned manufacturing plant in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, has suspended its operations following a Russian attack, according to Ukrinform. The attack caused extensive damage to the facility's production infrastructure, forcing the plant to halt its activities indefinitely.

Remarkably, none of the employees were injured during the assault.
