Russian missile strike re-engages Zaporizhstal plant – MP
Zaporizhstal steel mill in Zaporizhia was attacked again by the Russian aggressor overnight Thursday: five missiles hit the same location where people were killed during a previous shelling attack, Verkhovna Rada member and member of the parliamentary subcommittee on industrial policy of the Committee on Economic Development Musa Magomedov wrote on his Facebook page.
The Russian military attacked the Zaporizhstal steel mill near Zaporizhia once more on Thursday night. Russian missile strikes had already killed people at this location in a previous incident. Verkhovna Rada member Musa Magomedov expressed grave concerns over the attack, stating that the government must act urgently to prevent Ukraine from losing its steel industry.
The Russian strikes have severely disrupted operations at the mill, causing it to halt production. Magomedov emphasized that Russian strikes are destroying Ukraine's steel industry and highlighted additional challenges the industry faces, including a blockade of Odesa's ports and increased freight tariffs. As a result, Ukrainian steelmakers are struggling to produce and export products, putting their role as the country's economic backbone at risk.
