In Dnipro, cleanup efforts are ongoing on the embankment after a Russian strike on a local plant. Several hundred tonnes of sand were dumped onto the roads to keep the oil from reaching the river and causing an environmental calamity.
Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov reported this, Censor.NET informs.
Cleanup efforts ongoing
"On the embankment near the battered plant, cleanup efforts are ongoing. Utility workers and heavy equipment remain on site. The roads are covered with a mixture of oil and sand. Several hundred tonnes of sand were dumped there so that the oil would not get into the river and cause an environmental disaster," Filatov said.
He added that "it is simply impossible to drive there in anything other than a dump truck." Therefore, traffic along the embankment for all vehicles will be rerouted for the next few days.
"Please treat this with understanding. The work to clear up the aftermath of the Russian strike requires considerable effort," Filatov emphasized.
