The letter also claims that the town has been without water, heat and electricity for the past six months and warns of the ecological catastrophe that could follow from further shelling of the plant.

Much of the plant is damaged and the administration takes place in a Soviet bunker built beneath the site to avoid shelling.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Avdiivka Coke Plant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
