Ukrainian mining and steel producing group Metinvest Group has stated that electricity supply to its subsidiary Avdiivka Coke Plant in Donetsk has been restored in addition to the repair of minimal required equipment damaged in artillery attacks on May 21 and 23.

Last week, the company stated that the electricity transmission lines that feed the plant were damaged, leaving the mill unable to ship finished steel products and receive raw materials as a result of armed hostilities on May 21.

According to the Metinvest Group statement, specialists from energy company DTEK and the plant's electricity staff restored three of four high-voltage power lines at Avdiivka Coke Plant. Accordingly, the company was able to charge the batteries in coke shops No. 1 and No. 2 and recommence the production process.
