The plant's products are widely used in various sectors, including the defense industry, civil aviation, maritime transport and energy complex.
Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the company is under sanctions from the European Union, the USA, and Japan.
The plant was attacked for the second time in the last three months; it was previously hit on the night of May 23.
Recall that the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out a precise strike on the headquarters of the 8th Army of the Russian Federation in Donetsk, killing dozens of officers. This could have a significant impact on the combat coordination of the Russians.
