“ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih” is forced to suspend steel and rolled products production due to the explosion and destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station.

According to the company’s information, the enterprise will limit water consumption and has already halted certain metallurgical processes to preserve production units and reduce water consumption until the situation normalizes, reports the railway journal Railway Supply, citing Rail.insider.

As a result, steel smelting and rolled products production have been suspended, and only the blast furnace and coke-chemical production, as well as the horizontal flexible boiler (HFB), will continue operating.
