Russia destroyed the Belsta shoe factory in the Odesa region
Russian kamikaze drones struck the Belsta factory in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Odesa Oblast, which manufactures household footwear.
The factory buildings were almost completely destroyed. The substation, along with its cables, was completely burned out, and the embroidery workshop—which contained expensive equipment—and the cafeteria were destroyed.
Hundreds of windows were also shattered, and walls, roofs, ventilation systems, and solar panels were damaged. The factory owner stated that she plans to rebuild the facility and resume production.
The employees took shelter in time, so no one was injured.
