Operations at the plant have allegedly been suspended, according to the so-called "authorities," but the smoke coming from its pipes clearly shows that it keeps on working.

The regional and ministerial commission from Kyiv has already arrived at the de-facto border between mainland Ukraine and the occupied peninsula to do a series of tests of air, soil and water pollution with sulfuric acid.
In the past two days, children were evacuated from Armyansk. However, the occupation authorities do not recognize the fact of the environmental disaster in Crimea. In this regard, Ukrainian Ombudsperson Liudmyla Denisova has already addressed the United Nations.
In the meantime, spokesman for the Defense Ministry Dmytro Hutsuliak has said the Ukrainian intelligence revealed that a threatening chemical leak in the north of the Russian-occupied Crimea was a result of an artillery strike that hit chemical waste tanks during the Russian military drills.
