Meanwhile, Lysohor reported that in the morning, Russia-occupied Luhansk had been subject to a large-scale attack. Explosions rang out in the district where barracks and an airfield are located.

Quote: "Local witnesses have reported about seven to 20 explosions. This number may include interception attempts and strikes on the city. But we are firmly confident about two things.

Firstly, the videos were shot in the Hostra Mohyla district, near the barracks of the former Luhansk Higher Military Aviation School of Navigators, where the occupiers are currently residing. And also near the former regional military enlistment office.

An airfield is located in the same spot, as are an aircraft repair plant and a road leading to the Russian border. The Russian army uses this road round the clock to transport cargo, armament and personnel located in the same barracks as the aviation school. There are also reports about a strike on an oil depot for the fourth time in the last two months. That is, only the old and well-equipped military infrastructure of the occupiers has been struck.

Secondly, the weapons provided for us by our Western allies are extremely accurate. Sadly, the Russians always shield themselves with civilians, and if air defence had not been operating above residential areas, then there would have been no reports of civilian casualties, let alone children."
