In Donetsk region, a section of the ammonia pipeline 'Togliatti-Odessa' was blown up near the settlement of Rusyn Yar. According to 'Glavkom' citing the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Russian side accused the Ukrainian Armed Forces of the explosion near 'Donetsk People's Republic'.
In order to slow down the pace of the advance of the RF Armed Forces in the area 2.5 km east of the settlement of Rusyn Yar in the 'Donetsk People's Republic', the Ukrainian Armed Forces mined a branch of the ammonia pipeline 'Togliatti-Odessa' - claims the Russian side.
The occupiers assert that the explosion occurred during the retreat of the Ukrainian troops, which caused an ammonia release through the damaged section of the ammonia pipeline.
