According to the Ministry of Defense, the enemy used heavy artillery to destroy 70 percent of residential buildings and infrastructure in Northern Saltivka. The shelling here has continued since the start of the full-scale invasion and has intensified daily. The area suffered its first damage as early as February 25.
Today there is not a single surviving building in some of the streets of the Northern Saltivka, where 300,000 people lived before the hostilities began.
Locals, where possible, go into their homes to pick up surviving stuff and say goodbye to their homes. Most of the multistory buildings are no longer suitable for life - they are burnt out with destroyed ceilings and holes in the walls.
