According to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service (DSNS), the fire covered an area of 6,000 square meters. Photos from the scene showed widespread destruction.
“A total of 162 rescuers and 35 pieces of equipment were deployed to the site,” the DSNS said.
The strike targeted the Biosphere plant, a facility producing diapers, wipes, and other civilian products. Part of the company’s warehouse was destroyed in the attack, and a 42-year-old employee was killed.
President Volodymyr Zelensky responded by calling for increased pressure on Russia.
“Russia clearly ignores diplomacy, using its contacts with the world only for its own benefit, not to end the war,” Zelensky said. “We need pressure tactics - pressure on Russia to stop terror and war.”
In a separate attack on the evening of April 10, a Russian drone hit a residential building in the Zhytomyr region.
According to the DSNS, one person was killed and five others were injured, including a child born in 2011. All of the wounded were hospitalized.
