Attack on Ukrainian printing plant disrupts publishing industry
Jul 08 2024
On May 23, Russian missiles targeted the Factor Druk printing plant, one of the largest such plants in Europe and a crucial printer for the Ukrainian publishing industry. The attack killed seven employees at the plant and rendered one shop of the factory inoperable, with heavy damage throughout the building, forcing the plant to suspend operations. The fallout from the attack, some six weeks later, includes a delay in shipping books and an unexpected rise in prices in Ukraine.
