Russian occupiers fired at the location of one of the food enterprises in Chernihiv, the head of the Chernihiv OVA Vyacheslav Chaus said on Telegram.

According to him, an enemy shell damaged the main ammonia pipeline and one container.

“At 18. 50 as a result of a projectile hitting the machine room of the enterprise, the main ammonia pipeline was damaged and one container was damaged by shrapnel. As of 20:10, the State Emergency Service units were inspecting tanks and valves,” Chaus said..

The head of the OVA emphasized that the concentration of ammonia fumes remains within the permissible limits. According to preliminary information, there are no victims or injured..

Currently, the fire is being extinguished in the warehouse of finished products and packaging.

However, Vyacheslav Chaus warned that the shelling in Chernihiv was continuing and that subsequent damage to the enterprise could potentially lead to an ammonia leak..

The head of the OVA recalled the rules of conduct in the event of an ammonia release:.

it is necessary to leave the infected area perpendicular to the direction of the wind;

if it is not possible to leave the area of \u200b\u200binfection, it is necessary to take cover in shelters, basements, lower floors.

In a room or shelter, windows, doors, ventilation should be sealed (preferably with a cloth soaked in citric acid or a weak solution of vinegar or water);

in an apartment (house) it is advisable to go to the bathroom and turn on the shower for fine spraying (water absorbs ammonia from the air), do not turn on ventilation (draws clean air and draws in polluted);

if you smell ammonia - breathe through a moistened gauze bandage (preferably moistened with a 5% solution of acetic or citric acid).

Earlier in Kyiv, a slight increase in radioactive cesium in the air was recorded.
