Dnipro shelling results in leak of Bunge-produced oil
As a result of a drone attack, 300 tonnes of oil spilled onto the roads of the city of Dnipro. The oil had been produced at one of the plants of Bunge, one of the world’s leading grain traders, Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov reported.
"As a result of a drone attack, 300 tonnes of oil spilled onto the roads of Dnipro! Municipal services are carrying out cleanup operations, spreading sand and absorbent mixtures, but traffic along the Embankment will be impossible for approximately 2-3 days," he wrote on Facebook.
Filatov added that "the Russians bombed American property," as the plant belongs to Bunge, a company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri (USA).
The Mayor of Dnipro advised residents to follow the official resources of the city council, where information on public transport routes and road closures will be published.
