Men aged 64, 65 and 58, as well as two women aged 56 and 72, were injured. Five men and four women. They are provided with medical assistance,” Synegubov said.
Meanwhile, a third line of defense is being built near the front. The construction of fortifications continues, despite the fact that Russian shells in some places prevent the completion of the construction of the third line.
“The fact that there is a part of unfinished fortifications is exceptional because there is constant shelling there and it is extremely dangerous to carry out work there. We have already had people die on these works. 4 dead and more than 15 injured. More than 30 units of large special construction equipment were destroyed in the amount of over 30 million hryvnias, but the work is ongoing,” the chairman noted
