Director of Avdiyivka coking plant Musa Magomedov has said coal reserves at the plant are enough for 13 days of operation, 112 Ukraine reported.
"We have coal for about 13 days with shrunk production," he said, adding that only two out of four coke facilities are still operating.
He noted that at the moment, the situation with central heating in Avdiyivka was under control.
"Active shelling is continuing. I'm not ready to elaborate on the damage, the plant has not yet been hit [directly]. The problem with water has not been solved yet. The Donetsk filtration plant has not reached the necessary capacities," Magomedov said.
