In a message on social network X, Koretskyi classified Russia’s action as a “war crime”.
The governor of the region, Oleh Syniehubov, also explained in a message on the X, that the facility attacked is in the locality of Stara Hnylytsia.
Syniehubov also published an image of a plant deposit partially destroyed by the attack.
Russian forces have been conducting an aggressive campaign of attacks on the Ukrainian agricultural industry, supermarkets and other key establishments for the supply of basic products to the Ukrainian population for weeks.
In addition to this attack, one with ballistic missiles against logistics and energy infrastructure — which also caused damage to one maternity and residential buildings — killed two people early in the morning in the Ukrainian capital, according to Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky and other authorities.
In a message about the attack, Zelensky stressed that this action took place while he was discussing the so-called Graham Law in New York, with American legislators supporting this recently approved initiative.
The measure is named after the late Senator Lindsey Graham and confers additional powers on US President Donald Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries that finance the war by buying Russian oil.
Meanwhile, tonight, Ukrainian drones hit the facilities of a refinery in Rostov region and a company in Krasnodar, both in southern Russia.
According to Rostov's governor, Yuri Sliusar, fragments of drones killed damaged one of the refinery's administrative buildings, but without causing injuries.
Meanwhile, Krasnodar authorities reported a fire in a company after an attack on unmanned vehicles, without specifying whether the facility was civilian or military.
