"In a day - about 50 destroyed houses. It is difficult to count how many homes are destroyed every day in the villages of Hirske and Popasna communities, which regularly suffer from aviation. However, only in Lysychansk 23 houses were damaged during a day, 16 in neighboring Plryvillya, 5 in Severodonetsk ", - Serhiy Haiday noted.

He added that the russians also opened fire on the school and the “Azot” association, where the cooling tower caught fire. The fire was extinguished, the flames did not spread to nearby production facilities. It was no less tough in Lysychansk, where a coal bunker caught fire in a mine.
