Specialists of the Operational Headquarters calculated almost 118 million hryvnias of damage to the atmospheric air from the September shelling of the oil depot in Kryvyi Rih.

The fire, which lasted 16 hours, destroyed about 2,000 tons of diesel fuel and 5 tanks for its storage, Olena Kryvoruchkina, chief coordinator of the Operational Headquarters, writes on Facebook.
