QuoteVerbatim: "The Russian aggressors shelled the vicinity of the city's food businesses."
"The main ammonia pipeline and one tank were damaged as a result of a shell entering the engine room of the company at 6:50 p.m.. State Emergency Service units inspected tanks and shut-off valves, as of 8:10 p.m.."
"The concentration of ammonia vapours remains within the permissible norm. There are no casualties."
Details: Vyacheslav Chaus said that fire suppression was taking place in the warehouse of finished products and containers at the time of an attack.
He added that the shelling of the city continues, and further damage to the company could potentially lead to an ammonia leak.
Chaus recalled that ammonia is lighter than air and floats up rapidly. It is a colourless gas with a pungent odour, similar to the smell of household ammonia.
