“As a result of Russian shelling in the Kharkiv region, a fire broke out at an oil refinery. Currently, the fire has been extinguished on an area of 4.5 thousand square meters of territory with communications, but tanks and underground industrial drains are still burning. Explosions occur due to increased gas pollution,” explained the Chief of the Kharkiv Garrison.
According to Serhiy Melnyk, currently, the total burning area is about 5 thousand square meters.
“And again the crime of Russia was recorded! Currently, the total burning area is about 5 thousand square meters. But the workers of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine are working heroically on the spot,” added Serhiy Melnyk.
Earlier, Russian troops launched rocket attacks on the Izyum district of the Kharkiv region, as a result of which a fire started at an industrial enterprise.
