On September 28, Russian aircraft struck the military positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the Avdeevka Coke and Chemical Plant (AKHZ) in the Donetsk People’s Republic. The Ukrainian military turned the large industrial facility into a military fortress, from where civilian areas in the Donetsk city agglomeration were constantly shelled.
The footage of the airstrikes were shared by sources of the DPR People’s Militia. According to the official report, Ukrainian “manpower was destroyed, as well as ammunition depots, fuel and lubricants depots on the territory of the enterprise.”
As a result of the strikes, large fire brok out in the area and black smoke was seen in the region for hours.
Kiev’s propaganda attempted to assure its audience that the Russian attack allegedly targeted a civilian enterprise and there was no Ukrainian military in the area. However, the reports were supported by the video from the spot, which showed a military helmet of some Ukrainian serviceman. Another Kiev’s lie was immediately revealed.
