Arcelor Mittal Kryvyi Rih suspended most production processes due to a massive Russian missile attack on energy infrastructure on November 23, which led to a shortage of electricity in Ukraine, Kyiv Independent reports.

“The amount of available electricity is not enough to support production even at 20% capacity,” the company said.

Arcelor plans to return to normal operations as soon as power is restored.

On November 23, Russia launched a massive missile strike against Ukraine, killing civilians and damaging hospitals, schools, transportation infrastructure, residential areas, and critical energy infrastructure.

The attack caused emergency power outages in all regions of Ukraine and part of neighboring Moldova.

This attack was the fifth major Russian airstrike against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. The previous ones took place on October 10, October 17, October 31 and November 15.
