Out 147 trams, only some 20 were not affected by the constant shelling, tram depot director Vladyslav Pryimak told Reuters.

He said the depot came under shelling on February 24, but remained operational for the next few days.

Employees had to regularly take cover in the bomb shelter due to artillery and mortar shelling, according to Pryimak.
