Residents of 48 settlements were left without water as a result of damage to transformers at the pumping station of the first lift of the Yuzhnodonbass water pipeline
“Today the pumping station of the first lift of the Yuzhnodonbass water pipeline was in the shelling zone, two transformers were damaged by ammunition”, – reported in the State Unitary Enterprise “Voda Donbassa”.
It is noted that water supply was stopped at four filtration stations: Karlovskaya, Velikoanadolskaya, Starokrymskaya No. 1, and No. 2. It should be noted that not only settlements located on the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic were left without water supply. As a result of the aggression of the Ukrainian militants, residents of villages temporarily under Kiev’s control were also left without water supply.
Colonel Eduard Basurin, an official representative of the DPR People’s Militia, earlier reported that Ukrainian gunmen had shelled the territory of the republic with 120-mm mortars. The Donetsk government-owned chemical products plant also came under fire.
