Ukrainian fertilizer plant Severodonetsk Azot, part of Group DF, stopped production following the outbreak of hostilities in the country, according to an Interfax report, citing a March 1 statement by owner Group DF.
The statement was issued following media reports that the plant’s warehouses containing ammonia were “booby-trapped,” according to the Interfax report. Group DF said all ammonia had been processed ahead of the production stoppage and all finished products had been taken off the premises.
