The water supply to Avdiivka is stopped due to the closing of the Donetsk Filtration Station as the Ministry of Temporary Occupied Territories and IDPs reported on Twitter.
‘As at April 20, the water supply to Avdiivka was stopped. The supply of water from the local reservoir is provided and its reserve will be enough for four days’, the message said.
At the same time, it is noted that the possibility of the introduction of the emergency state in Avdiivka is not considered yet.
As we reported the militants shelled the convoy of the filtration station's workers. Five workers suffered, one of them is in the serious condition. On April 18, Donetsk Filtration Station has stopped its work and the supply of the drinking water was stooped to Avdiivka, partially to Donetsk and Yasynuvata, Chervony Partyzan, Kruta Balka and Verkhnyotoretske villages.
The Headquarters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is sure that the situation was staged and provoked by the leaders of the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. U.S. State Department condemned the shelling of the filtration station and claimed that Russia is responsible for the worsening of the humanitarian station in the east of Ukraine.
