A nighttime attack by Russian drones damaged the Kernel grain storage complex, causing part of the harvest to spill onto the ground. 

This was reported by the press service of the Kernel agricultural holding. The enemy strike led to the destruction of warehouses and special storage tanks used for long-term grain storage.

The company’s official statement noted that none of the facility’s employees were injured during the explosions. At the scene, specialists have already begun clearing up the aftermath of the Russian shelling and are conducting a thorough assessment of the damage.

Despite the destruction, the agricultural sector continues to operate and ensure logistical processes in the region.
