Under the Azot chemical plant in Severodonetsk, has sheltered a number of civilians to escape Russian bombing and it is possible that dangerous chemicals are still present at the facility, Luhansk Governor Sherhi Gaidai claimed today.
"There are civilians there, in anti-aircraft shelters, there are quite a few, but there will not be a second Azovstal because that one had a huge underground city which is not the case in Azot," Gaidai said, referring to the prolonged siege of the vast steelworks in Mariupol.
According to the governor, 70 percent of Severodonetsk is controlled by Russian forces, 10-15 percent is a "gray zone" and the rest, including the Azot plant, is controlled by the Ukrainians.
In the city there are still some stocks of food, medicine and water. But the Ukrainian forces no longer control the hospital.
Gaidai also said that one of the bridges connecting Severodonetsk to Lysychansk has been destroyed. The others have been damaged, but are passable by light vehicles.
