Attack on the city center

In the center of Luhansk, apartment buildings and civilian infrastructure facilities have been damaged following an attack by Ukrainian drones. This was reported on his Telegram channel by the head of the LNR Leonid Pasechnik. According to him, the strike hit a residential area in the middle of the working day, and near the site of the attack there are a polyclinic, a school, a public transport stop and shops. According to the head of the region, no one was injured in Luhansk itself.

Deaths in other districts of the republic

Although there were no casualties in Luhansk, two civilians were killed over the past day in other populated areas of the LNR. In Lysychansk, a drone attacked a private house — the body of a woman was found under the rubble. Another strike hit a passenger car on a road in Alchevsk; the driver received fatal injuries.

Damage to residential buildings, transport and utility facilities was recorded, in addition to Luhansk, in Sievierodonetsk, Kirovsk, Rovenky, Alchevsk, Lysychansk, as well as in the Novoaidar, Starobilsk and Bilokurakyne municipal districts. Emergency services and local officials are working on the ground, and Investigative Committee employees are documenting the consequences of the attacks. According to Pasechnik, over the past day air defense crews and mobile fire groups destroyed about 40 aerial targets over the LNR.

The previous attack on November 2

This is already the second strike on Luhansk in a week: during the previous attack on November 2, telecom operator buildings, a museum and a school were damaged. A fire broke out in the four-story building of the internet provider Lugacom after a drone strike. Thus, the new attack affected the city center, while a week earlier communications facilities and social infrastructure were also damaged as a result of a drone attack.
