Russian invaders fired at a school in Avdiivka with prohibited ammunition, said the head of the Donetsk Police Pavel Kirilenko. No one was injured in the shooting.

“The Russians destroyed another educational institution in the Donetsk region - Avdiivka School No. 1. Tonight, the Russian army fired on it with forbidden phosphorus ammunition.. The school burned down. Fortunately, there were no casualties: only those on duty were in the building, they managed to escape..

Kirilenko said that the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation at the school was attended by more than 200 children. According to him, guests from different parts of the country and from abroad came to the educational institution.. But now only ruins remain instead of the school.

“There was not a single military man, not a single military equipment in the school. It’s just that the Russians, as usual, purposefully destroy civilian infrastructure. In total, as of February 24, Russians in the Donetsk region damaged and destroyed 416 educational institutions, including 181 kindergartens, 191 schools, 23 vocational education institutions and 21 universities,” Kirilenko added..
