Considering the horrendous current situation this was only a matter of time.

But it appears Gorky Park near the under siege city of Kharkiv was hit by some shelling during Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Doesn't seem to have caused too much damage but certainly came close to hitting the main coaster a Zierer ESC.

As can be seen in the pictures, the shells damaged several kiosks in the territory, craters are visible in the territory, one of the ammunition landed near the roller coaster.

Looks like the Zierer ESC survived any direct hits but has been peppered with shrapnel and has some damaged supports and track sections (you can see a lot of holes in the images below.

The article suggests Zierer have been contacted for advise on how to restore the coaster to working order.
