Kametstal plant halts operations following Russian missile attack
Metallurgical plant Kametstal has halted operations following a Russian missile attack overnight on September 5.
On September 5, the Metinvest steel plant in Kamianske, Ukraine, came to a complete standstill after Russia launched a ballistic missile attack, according to Ukrinform. The assault resulted in five fatalities and four injuries among Metinvest employees. The attack targeted the plant's key production facilities, leaving significant damage to the sintering and blast-furnace operations, energy and transport infrastructure.
Metinvest emphasized that no military targets were struck during the attack. The swift transition from air raid alert to missile strike left little time for employees to seek shelter, as has been a recurring pattern in Russia's attacks on Ukrainian industrial enterprises. The incident has led to a day of mourning in Kamianske, Dnipropetrovsk region, for the five victims who lost their lives.
Recovery efforts are ongoing, with specialists scheduled to inspect the plant once debris has been cleared. The exact timeline for resuming production remains uncertain.
