Details

During the air raid, a heating battery valve was blown off in a school shelter in Solomyansky district. The ceiling in this Armstrong-type shelter is made of lightweight slabs that quickly absorbed water and swelled. As a result of the significant weight gain due to water, a segment of the suspended ceiling collapsed, KMMA explained.

The investigative team is currently establishing the details.

The incident is being investigated by the service.

Timur Tkachenko, Deputy Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine, reported after the incident that no one was injured. He also reminded that the shelter had recently been renovated and inspected. "As you can see, safety needs to be approached much more carefully!" - he summarized.
