WASH Cluster Incident Report №283, 08/05/2021 Format KEY PIPELINES DAMAGED BY SHELLING Today, in the early morning of 8th May 2021, it was discovered that one of three huge diameter pipes of Siverskyi Donets Donbass (SDD) channel was damaged by heavy shelling last night. Additionally, the roof of a nearby valves building was also hit, at the same location, between Horlivka and Shumy, on the frontline accessible from the Non-Government Controlled Area (NGCA). During a damage assessment visit, this morning the Voda Donbasa (VD) repair crew identified 21 holes in the 2300 mm diameter pipe. Some have been temporarily repaired using wooden chocks, however, for some repair works, including higher up parts of the pipeline, and to repair the valve building roof, the VD team needs to bring temporary scaffolding or a “cherry picker” truck to the site. VD will now request a Window of Silence (WoS) and demining works, via the JCCC and OSCE SMM.
