A Telegram post, citing the Financial Times and one of Metinvest's executives, claims that ballistic missiles struck key production workshops at Ukrainian metallurgical plants, paralyzing production. The report states that three blast furnaces were targeted, including two belonging to Metinvest and one at ArcelorMittal in Kryvyi Rih.

According to the executive, the attackers knew the plant's layout and precisely where to strike. The duration of repairs remains uncertain, potentially taking days, weeks, months, or even years.
