This was reported by the Luhansk RMA.

"The Russians staged hell in Rubizhne, shelling continued all night, at least 27 houses were damaged", said Sergiy Gaidai, head of the Luhansk RMA.

According to him, sometimes entire streets were on fire. At least five more fires occurred in Popasna and one in Severodonetsk. Information about the injured and dead is being clarified.

"Dozens of broken destinies in one night. Relatives of townspeople and peasants are dying, houses are burning. However, the Russian army continues to purposefully fire on civilians who are not even allowed to leave safely. The other day, we saw how a fire was opened on buses with refugees in Rubizhne, yesterday - in the direction from Mariupol. We barely managed to evacuate women and children from Popasna. The Russians leave the opportunity to stay at home, because people no longer have a place to live, but they do not allow people to protect themselves. But every day we try to evacuate as many residents of the region as possible. Ukraine, in turn, is doing everything possible to keep the defense", Sergiy Gaidai emphasized.
