Medical units of the brigades confirmed that the number of requests for their assistance has noticeably increased compared to usual.

This event provoked a fire at a chemical plant and caused mass hospitalization of servicemen. The data on attacks present a serious challenge for Russia's defense and confirm the heightened tension in the Donbas situation.
