On April 14, the Energomashspetsstal (EMSS) in the city of Kramatorsk, Donetsk region, was subjected to rocket fire from Russian troops. It was announced by the ex-director of the EMSS, people’s deputy of the Verkhovna Rada (deputy group “Dovira”) Maxim Efimov.

According to the ex-director of EMSS, the missile hit one of the plant’s workshops, which is technically important to fulfill orders.

“The number of victims, and destruction are being specified. There are no soldiers there. They are destroying the industry of Ukraine”, Maxim Efimov said.
