In Donetsk region, the Russian invaders bombed the Avdiivka coke plant, where the remaining stocks of naphthalene are on fire.

That’s according to MP Musa Magomedov, the former CEO of the plant who lived in Adviivka, Ukrinform reports.

"The ‘peacemakers’...continue to destroy the industry of Donbas. These monsters just hit the ACCP with air bombs and now the scrubbers of the trapping workshop are on fire," Magomedov wrote on Telegram, uploading the video of the blaze.
