Day shift workers, (12 people in total) were present and took cover in the on-site bomb shelter during all three incidents. As before, there are environmental risks from this shelling which include that sewage from 7,800 people, normally treated Golmovskyi Wastewater Treatment Plant, could be released into local rivers, affecting water quality downstream to Bakhmut city and beyond, if there is an damage to the sewage plant.
