“The enemy’s attempt to turn the industrial zone of the Severodonetsk Azot enterprise into a stubborn center of resistance has been thwarted.
Currently, the territory of this enterprise is controlled by units of the People's Militia of the Luhansk People's Republic," said the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Igor Konashenkov.
Earlier, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that 800 civilians had been released from the territory of the Azot plant in Severodonetsk.
