According to Haidai: "On 13 March, the Russian invaders focused their attention on shelling residential neighbourhoods and the civilian infrastructure of Severodonetsk.

What are the invaders trying to achieve? In their statements, the Russians declare that they are allegedly bringing peace, but in reality they are destroying entire cities.

Yesterday in Severodonetsk houses were burning in both old and new districts, a school, a forestry enterprise, and many other sites. Shelling is on such an enormous scale that we do not have enough emergency responders – they just can’t be everywhere at once. 

People are trying to leave because many of them no longer have anywhere to live."

Details: On Sunday, 13 March, Russian shelling caused fires in buildings on the Agaphonov, Vilesov, Gagarin, Gogol, and Kurchatov Streets, Budivelnykiv Road, and Gvardiyskyi Avenue.

A school and a forestry enterprise caught fire, as well as other sites.
