On August 21, 2025, Flex Ltd., a U.S.-based electronics manufacturing services company, reported that its facility in Mukachevo, Ukraine, was damaged during a missile strike. The incident resulted in injuries to several employees and contractors, who remain hospitalized. Flex has activated its Business Continuity Plan to ensure ongoing operations and is providing full support to the affected individuals and their families [1].

The Mukachevo facility, dedicated to consumer and lifestyle products, represents approximately 1% of Flex's overall revenue. The strike, which occurred during the night shift, caused significant damage to the facility. Flex has stated that the facility has no role in military or defense production [1].

The attack has raised concerns about the safety of foreign businesses operating in Ukraine. This is the second time this year that a Russian missile has targeted an American enterprise in the country. In June, the Boeing office in Kyiv was hit by Russian missiles [2].

The incident underscores the ongoing threat to civilians and businesses in Ukraine. According to the Ukrainian government, the attack involved hundreds of drones, hypersonic, ballistic, and cruise missiles targeting civilian and energy infrastructure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack, stating that it targeted a regular civilian business producing everyday items like coffee machines [2].

Flex's senior vice president of investor and public relations, Michelle Simmons, confirmed that the company is engaging with relevant U.S. government officials and agencies to address the situation. The company is currently assessing the extent of damage to the facility and its impact on operations [1].
