Ukraine War Latest Live Updates: Russian Drones Attack Dnipro, Damaging US-Owned Oil Plant (9)

The strike on Bunge's Oleina plant caused a 300-ton sunflower oil spill, blocking key roads for days, amid ongoing attacks on U.S. business assets in Ukraine.

  • On January 5, a Russian drone strike damaged the Oleina-related oil processing plant in Dnipro, causing a 300-ton spill of sunflower oil at the US-owned Bunge facility.
  • Observers point out a pattern after officials said Russian forces deliberately targeted the Bunge facility multiple times, following earlier strikes on Flex and Boeing, with the American Chamber calling it a direct strike on American business interests.
  • Responders reported that the strike sparked a fire, damaged vehicles and a power line with no casualties, while emergency teams spread sand and absorbents as embankment roads became impassable for two to three days.
  • City officials warned the spill will disrupt traffic for several days and close the embankment for two to three days, while the American Chamber urged Washington to act to protect US investments and Ukraine's agricultural export economy.
  • Amid a Jan. 5 assault wave, Russia launched 165 drones overnight with Ukrainian air defenses intercepting 137, while missile strikes hit Kharkiv and Dnipro.
