📹 The Donetsk City Water Utility plant, shelled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, was bottling drinking water, some of which was sent to the Russian military along the front lines in Mariupol and Volnovakha.

A local resident who witnessed the shelling said that the Donetsk City Water Utility building was also shelled in 2014, although the shells were smaller then. Now the Ukrainian army uses 155mm M777 howitzers, which are virtually silent – “only rustling can be heard”. According to the man, a total of seven shells hit in the vicinity of the Donetsk City Water Utility plant.
