The strike, which occurred on July 6, has caused significant damage to the facility, but authorities report that no casualties have been reported so far.
According to eyewitnesses and local officials, the drone attack took place in the early hours of the morning, with multiple explosions reported in the vicinity. The fire, which engulfed a significant portion of the facility, has been raging for several hours, with firefighters continuing to battle the blaze.
“It’s a very difficult situation,” said Serhiy Budin, the head of the Kryvyi Rih fire department. “The fire is spreading rapidly, and we’re working to contain it as soon as possible. We have deployed all available resources to ensure the fire is brought under control.”
Local residents have been advised to remain indoors and follow evacuation instructions, with some roads in the area cordoned off due to the ongoing fire. The attack has caused significant disruption to daily life in the city, with many businesses and services affected by the blaze.
The Ukrainian authorities have condemned the attack, with the Ministry of Infrastructure stating that “such actions demonstrate the brutality and disregard for human life displayed by the Russian aggressor.” The ministry also emphasized that the Ukrainian people remain “firm in their determination to resist aggression and protect their country’s sovereignty.”
The incident has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from the international community, with many countries and organizations condemning the attack as a clear breach of international law. The United States, the European Union, and NATO have all issued statements denouncing the strike and emphasizing their commitment to supporting Ukraine’s right to self-defense.
As firefighters continue to battle the blaze, the full extent of the damage remains to be assessed.
