--->'Planned provocation of Ukrainian nationalists was carried out in the city of Sumy at night which the Russian Defense Ministry officially warned about a few days ago.
According to the head of the Sumy regional Administration, an ammonia leak occurred at the Sumykhimprom plant. There is no threat to the residents of Sumy, as the air masses were moving "not in the direction of the city".
Let me remind you that back on March 19, we officially warned about the mining of this enterprise by Ukrainian nationalists to commit a provocation in order to accuse Russia of allegedly using "chemical weapons".
I want to emphasize once again, - The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation did not plan and do not carry out any strikes on Ukrainian facilities for storing or producing toxic substances.
The coordinates of all such objects and data on toxic substances stored there on the territory of Ukraine were obtained by us during the seizure of combat documentation of the 4th brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard.
The Kiev nationalist regime is directly responsible for any possible incidents with Ukrainian toxic substances storage facilities.'<---

'It certainly was a firing point in addition to being a massive ammo dump
They've been firing from that parking lot adjacent to the shopping mall every other day. Did another salvo shortly before the Kalibr hit, apparently.'
