It is reported by the Mariupol City Council.



 

"The contact of civilians with the substance was minimal, because the epicenter of the lesion was at a certain distance from the location of the people. The military personnel were somewhat closer. However, now it is impossible to fully examine the scene of events due to enemy fire, because the Russians continue to carry out tactics of concealment of their own crimes", the city council wrote.

 

Three military men were injured, in particular, one of them is in a moderate condition, and the other two are under constant medical supervision.

 

"Among the injured civilians, an elderly woman is in the worst condition", the city council added.

 

The main symptoms of the victims: flushing of the face, increased blood pressure, dryness and heartburn in the oropharynx, mucous membranes of the eyes.

 

"At present, it is known that poisonous substances or potent poisonous substances with a predominantly asphyxiating effect were used by the invader. However, due to being in complete blockade, their toxicological analysis is impossible. At the same time, the main task is to monitor the condition of the personnel and the possible consequences of poisoning", the Mariupol City Council noted.
