Drone Strike on Bunge-Owned Dnipro Oil Plant Spills 300 Tons, Closes Embankment

City crews are using hundreds of tonnes of sand to keep the sunflower oil from reaching the river.

Overview

  • Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov said a Russian drone hit the Dnipro Oil Extraction Plant, which he described as a civilian production site.
  • Municipal services are conducting a large-scale cleanup and have restricted traffic along the embankment for the next few days.
  • Workers dumped several hundred tonnes of sand and deployed heavy equipment to contain the spill and protect the waterway.
  • Filatov cautioned that the affected stretch is effectively passable only for dump trucks during the response.
  • Ukrinform also reported a separate missile strike on Kharkiv that damaged civilian facilities and injured at least five people.
