Russia attacks Zaporizhstal for third time over past month, four injured
Russian forces attacked the Zaporizhstal steel plant with ballistic missiles overnight on September 12, injuring four employees.
Russia launched a missile strike on the Zaporizhstal steel plant for the third time in the past month, injuring four employees on September 12, according to a report by Ukrinform. The attack, which occurred overnight into September 12, targeted the production site of Zaporizhstal, a facility that has not resumed operations since previous strikes on August 11 and 27.
Four missiles hit the plant, causing significant damage to its main and auxiliary equipment, power system, networks, and logistics infrastructure. Oleksandr Myronenko, the Chief Operating Officer of Metinvest Group, which owns Zaporizhstal, emphasized that the plant produced pig iron and steel for civilian purposes and had no military value.
Despite this, the company's production processes had not resumed following earlier attacks. Russian forces also struck the ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih plant on the same day, resulting in the death of two people and injuries to four others. The extent of the destruction at Zaporizhstal is yet to be fully assessed, but the company's officials have classified the damage as critical.
