The firefighting lasted all night, and explosive experts are still working at the site. At the moment, the facility is completely destroyed.

"In essence, this is the beginning of bankruptcy proceedings, the fourth attack on the company proved decisive; there remains hope for international courts, which we have little faith in, given the current geopolitical situation in the world," commented AES group.
