> Relentless Russian missile attacks have brought Ukraine’s remaining steel industry almost to a halt. Zaporizhstal, which employs 8,500 people, suffered four waves of strikes that badly damaged its equipment, roofs and blast furnaces; 17 missiles killed eight workers and injured 31. Its future remains uncertain.
