All children have been evacuated from Avdiyivka, which is being stormed by the Russian army, Head of the city military administration Vitaliy Barabash said. The latter managed to evacuate a 12-year-old boy, whom his parents had hidden from evacuation for four months.

"There are no children in the city. We found this family with a boy, they left. As of now, there is not a single child in the city. In all the front-line communities, there are almost no children left anywhere," Barabash told Hromadske Radio.

Previously, Barabash said there was officially one child left in Avdiyivka - a boy, but he had not been found for about four months.
