The second location, which was struck, was hitting a building on the territory of an industrial facility. Emergency services arrived on the scene and extinguished the fire almost immediately.

Oleksandr Sienkevych added that there were no military personnel or equipment at any of the locations.

«We haven't had such shelling for a long time. I won't say that it was a surprise, but the shelling interrupted a long period of silence. There were no military objects or equipment that could be hidden there. It was just a private sector area. As always, they will probably report that they hit some military facility, but there are no facilities there,» the mayor assured.
