Partial collapse of Dormashina building in Mykolaiv due to Russian shelling
Mykolaiv, June 26 — An emergency situation occurred in the city on Tsentralny Avenue: part of the former Dormashina plant, which this time was damaged by a missile attack by Russian troops, collapsed. This happened as a result of last week's shelling, which caused serious destruction in this area, reports the Mykolaiv City Council. According to the city council, the incident occurred around June 26, when a privately owned plot belonging to this facility suddenly sagged and partially collapsed. As a result, the passage to the building was blocked, and the area was fenced off to prevent accidents. Employees of the City Council's Department of Emergency Situations and Civil Protection, rescuers from the State Emergency Service, law enforcement officers and specialized experts are currently working at the scene of the accident. They are assessing the condition of the collapsed building to determine possible further actions. Roman Voznyak, head of the Department for Emergencies and Civil Protection, reported that after preliminary measures to strengthen the building, the first work has already been carried out to ensure the safety of residents and workers. However, due to damage to the structures as a result of shelling, the structure of the facility failed and collapsed. At the same time, the floor is for experts and specialists to determine further steps to eliminate the danger. Earlier it was reported that as a result of Russian strikes on February 16 of this year, numerous damages were recorded on the territory of the Dormashina plant, but later everything possible was done to strengthen the building and prevent unforeseen consequences. However, the recent collapse became clear evidence of the complexity and destructive consequences of war for the city's infrastructure. Local authorities urge citizens not to approach the epicenter of the accident, to keep a safe distance and to follow additional messages in order to avoid potential danger. Traffic along the avenue is not currently blocked, but specialists remain on site to monitor the situation and respond if necessary. Mykolaiv remains on high alert, and residents are asked to understand the restrictions caused by the war and its consequences for the city's infrastructure.
