Russian shelling of an enterprise in Mykolaiv caused over UAH 538 million in damage to the land

The estimated damage to land resources after a Russian attack on an industrial enterprise in Mykolaiv amounts to more than UAH 538 million. The assessment was carried out by specialists from the Southwestern District State Environmental Inspectorate.

At the industrial infrastructure facility, impacts from enemy munitions and their fragments caused destruction and damage to buildings. As a result, the land plot was contaminated with construction waste and fragments of missile and shell warheads.

The total area of the contaminated site is nearly 11,000 square meters. The volume of waste there was estimated at 220 cubic meters.

The damages were calculated using a methodology for determining the extent of damage to land and soil resulting from emergencies, armed aggression, and hostilities during martial law.
