ArcelorMittal can confirm that its Ukraine operation, ArcelorMittal Kryvih Rih, suffered a missile strike over the weekend in which 13 employees of the company and contractors were injured and tragically two employees died: one staff member and one from a contractor organization.
Our focus is on the families and loved ones of our colleagues who suffered from the attack. Those affected by the missile strike are receiving all necessary medical care in the city’s medical facilities.
