Victims of spraying a poisonous substance of unknown origin over Mariupol are now in relatively satisfactory condition
This was reported in the Azov Regiment, whose fighters are defending Mariupol.

They added that it is currently impossible to inspect the scene due to enemy fire.
"We were in a shelter position. We heard an explosion and went up to check what and why. I saw fog, more like smoke.
We commanded to go to cover. When we came in, I felt short of breath. It was very difficult to breathe, immediately dizziness and the legs went rubbery. It is not clear what it was," said the victim.
Постраждалі особи внаслідок розповсюдження ворогом отруйної речовини невідомого походження в місті Маріуполь знаходяться у відносно задовільному стані. Контакт цивільних осіб з речовиною був мінімальним, адже епіцентр ураження був на певній відстані від місця перебування людей.👇🏼 pic.twitter.com/G5myNNkJu6
