Zhyvytsky’s direct speech:“At night, the enemy Russian army fired rockets at Okhtyrka. Hitting the residential sector, high-rise buildings. There are dead and injured civilians."
Okhtyrka Mayor Pavlo Kuzmenko: “Russian military fired air-to-ground missiles at the most densely populated Okhtyrka district".
Details: The State Emergency Service reported that in Okhtyrka, rescuers were able to rescue an injured woman from the rubble of damaged residential buildings, and also retrieved the body of a dead man.
In other settlements of Okhtyrka region, where the enemy struck by air, rescuers released 4 injured people from the rubble. Extinguishing fires in residential buildings continues.
The head of the OVA also added that for the third day in a row, the hottest spot in the region remains the city of Trostyanets, where fierce fighting is taking place.
According to Zhyvytskyi, the occupiers stationed their artillery in the Boromlyany community and from there continue to fire on the Trostyanets community.
In the evening of March 23, a large fire broke out at one of the enterprises, which continues to this day – due to constant shelling and fighting, rescuers can not get to put out the fire.
Zhyvytskyi added that neither the communal services nor the energy sector are fully operational in the Trostyanets community – the community is still without electricity.
The shelling of the settlements of Lebedyn and Krasnopil communities, the southern part of the suburbs of Sumy is also underway.
However, despite all this, according to the head of the OBA, the region is trying to provide humanitarian aid, deliver bread, restore markets and partially transport (for example, in the city of Romny), deliver a little medicine and fuel.
Zhyvytskyi also added that Sumy region is preparing for sowing.
