As reported by the company «Donetskoblgaz», a hostile shelling strike damaged a gas distribution station in Kostiantynivka, owned by LLC «Operator gasotransportnykh system Ukrainy».
«Due to numerous breaches, it was impossible to maintain working pressure in Kostiantynivka’s gas supply system, leading to a halt in gas distribution to the town’s residents. Considering the unsafe conditions in the city, the inability of emergency crews to respond promptly to localize and repair the damage, personnel shortages, and the absence of safety guarantees for workers carrying out repairs, further restoration efforts for Kostiantynivka’s gas supply are not feasible», — the company announced.
