Three Largest Metallurgical Plants in Ukraine Cease Operations After Russian Attacks

The attacks targeted the Dnipro Metallurgical Combine, Kryvyi Rih Metallurgical Plant, and Mariupol Iron and Steel Works. These facilities, which collectively produce over 10 million tons of steel annually, were hit by Russian missiles and airstrikes. The damage has left the plants inoperable, with reports of explosions and fires at the sites. The loss of these facilities marks a major blow to Ukraine's industrial infrastructure and energy grid, as they supply power to surrounding regions.
