As UNIAN reported earlier, on June 10, as a result of hostilities in Yasinovata district in Donbas, two high-voltage transmission lines and a transformer substation were damaged in the uncontrolled area, which led to the halt of power supply to the pumping station of the first elevation of Yuzhno-Donbasky water pipeline, providing water to four filter stations. Thus, 72 settlements (388,000 people) in five districts of Donetsk region (Pokrovsk, Selydove, Volnovakha, Dobropillia, and Maryinka), as well as Oleksandrivka were left without the water supply.
