In the early hours of 5 September 2026 Russian forces struck the Kametstal (Metinvest) metallurgical plant in Kamianske, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Morning reports from Governor Oleksandr Hanzha put the toll at four killed and five injured; the regional prosecutor later raised deaths to five after a fifth body was recovered, still citing five injured. Metinvest later said five people were killed and four employees injured, and that damage to sintering, blast-furnace, energy and transport infrastructure forced a complete halt of production; Ukrinform carried the company statement. Kamianske mayor Andriy Bilousov declared 5 September a Day of Mourning. Exact pad unpublished; plant-level point retained. No verified X-native video.twimg.com MP4 found this pass.
