Offspring Guitarist Noodles Steps Back From Live Shows for 'Serious' Health Issue

Carmaker Škoda Auto this week scaled back electric car production at the M13 workshop of its Mladá Boleslav plant — employees have stopped working night shifts. The reason, according to reports, is a shortage of cable components made in Ukraine: deliveries were disrupted after local factories came under attack from Russian forces.

“Škoda Auto is currently seeing constraints at one of its component suppliers and is taking steps to ensure continuity of production and supply. Thanks to our flexible production system, we are adjusting output at the affected areas so that the impact on production is minimal,” the carmaker said on Thursday. The company specified that it is partially reducing the number of shifts depending on parts availability for individual models.
