Russian guided bombs destroy Ukraine's largest poultry farm, damages in hundreds of millions
On July 3, Russian occupation forces struck the Chornobaivka poultry farm in Kherson region with guided aerial bombs, causing a massive fire and destroying a large part of the facility; preliminary damages are estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars.
On Friday, July 3, Russian occupation forces attacked the Chornobaivka poultry farm, one of the largest poultry producers in Ukraine and Europe, which is part of the Ukrlandfarming (ULF) group. The strike involved several guided aerial bombs (KAB), according to the company's press service.
The impact caused a large fire and explosions that destroyed a significant portion of the production complex. Emergency services are working at the scene to assess the damage and mitigate the consequences. Preliminary estimates indicate damages amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars.
This is not the first time the farm has been targeted. During the initial phase of Russia's full-scale invasion, when the Kherson region was occupied, the farm was completely cut off from electricity and blocked. Due to the inability to deliver feed and maintain operations, 4.7 million birds died. During the occupation, Russian troops looted the facility, removing modern equipment and vehicles, and destroying infrastructure.
After the deoccupation of the Kherson region, Ukrlandfarming restored production at this vital complex, which is critical for Ukraine's food security. Now, the farm has again been hit by a Russian attack.
