Around 800 people are hiding in several bomb shelters underneath the Azot chemical factory in Sievierodonetsk, which has been targeted by Russian missile attacks.
“There are locals there, who were asked to leave the city but they refused. There are also children there, but not many of them,” Serhiy Haidai, Head of Luhansk Regional Military Administration, told CNN.
Haidai said a Russian airstrike hit a tank of nitric acid at the Azot factory on Tuesday. Images that day showed a thick orange-colored cloud of smoke rising from the area.
“Thank God nothing threatened the people as [the cloud] went up and moved at once, there’s no deadly danger,” Haidai said.
As reported, Russian troops try to establish full control over Luhansk and Donetsk regions but this goal has not been achieved so far.
