KYIV - A number of civilians are sheltering from Russian shelling under a chemical plant in the Ukrainian city of Sievierodonetsk and authorities fear it may still have stocks of dangerous materials,

the regional governor told Reuters on Wednesday .

Ukraine on Tuesday said a Russian air strike hit a nitric acid tank in Sievierodonetsk, releasing a large pink cloud. The Ukrainian military did not put up fortifications in the plant because of the chemical risk, he said. "We will defend the region to the last city, village, or resident of Luhansk region. We will do everything possible, and even the impossible, not to let the enemy advance further," he said.He said some humanitarian supplies, including water and medicine, had been built up before the Russian attack but that Ukraine had lost contact with the city's hospital.
