Russia destroyed the Palace of Culture in Chasiv Yar, opening fire on the city with cluster munitions, the Ministry of Culture reported.
Rescuers of the State Emergency Service, who arrived at the scene of the fire, were forced to stop their work due to continuous shelling. Because of this, the building of the Palace of Culture burned down.
The Palace of Culture was used as the cityʼs humanitarian headquarters and a place for providing medical care. The shelling destroyed a small supply of humanitarian aid and medical equipment.
