Russians shell Chasiv Yar with phosphorus munitions: almost 700 civilians still live in the town

The town of Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region is being shelled by Russia with phosphorus munitions. Last week, many such attacks were on the private sector, and this week such munitions fell on  garages and private houses.

This was reported by Suspilne Donbas with reference to Serhii Chaus, head of the city Military Administration. There were no casualties as a result of the shelling, he said.

"The situation in the town is consistently difficult. This is actually the third week of the peak and it is not decreasing. However, it is not increasing either," Chaus said.

The head of the RMA said that 690 people still remain in the community. Most of them are over 65 years old, there are also young people, but very few of them. Evacuation from the city is difficult because of the work of enemy drones, and there are few people willing to leave. About ten locals were evacuated in a week.

"The number of people willing to leave the city is not increasing much, from one to three people apply. Today, those who applied refused to leave. These are elderly people. They did not leave," the head said.

Chaus noted that Russian troops are shelling Chasiv Yar with all available weapons. Humanitarian aid and bread are being delivered to the town by the administration.

As reported earlier, Russian occupation forces continue attempts to capture the town of Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region. The enemy is actively attacking it with guided aerial bombs and using its air superiority, missiles and large-caliber artillery, but the city is under full control of the Defense Forces.
