U.S.-Owned Factory Bombed in Ukraine, 300 Tons of Oil Spill in Dnipro

Russian forces struck an American-owned factory in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, officials report. The attack caused a major industrial accident. The targeted site is a plant owned by U.S. company Mondelez International. Ukrainian authorities describe it as a civilian food production facility. A direct hit caused extensive damage and ignited a large fire. The bombing led to a leak of approximately 300 tons of sunflower oil from the facility. The oil spilled into the streets of the industrial district. Emergency crews are working to contain the environmental damage. Mondelez International confirmed the attack on its infrastructure. The company stated the plant produced biscuits and had no military function. Ukrainian officials condemned the strike as an attack on purely civilian infrastructure. They accuse Russia of deliberately targeting non-military sites. Russia has not yet commented on this specific incident. The bombing is part of a wider pattern of strikes on Ukrainian energy and industrial facilities.
