Russian drones destroy Prometey grain elevator in Sumy region
The Lebedyn grain elevator, owned by the Prometey agricultural holding, sustained major damage in a Russian drone attack on the evening of Aug.
A Russian drone attack on August 8 inflicted significant damage on the Lebedyn grain elevator, a key facility of the Prometey agricultural holding. The explosion destroyed two grain warehouses and a drying building, according to the company's press service. Prometey owner and supervisory board chairman Rafael Horoyan expressed concern over the financial implications, noting that the loss of such a large and profitable facility would have a serious impact on the company's overall financial condition.
Company specialists are currently on-site to manage the aftermath and evaluate the extent of the damage. Prior to the Russian invasion, Prometey Group owned 34 grain elevators across several regions, but decided to close three in 2024 and reduce staff. The company specializes in storage, cleaning, drying and logistics services for agricultural products.
