Luhansk Regional Military Administration Head Sergiy Gaidai shared the details of the attacks.

"Woman was killed in Severodonetsk. In Bilogorivtsi, two Transcarpathian volunteers died. Children are among the injured. As a wounded child from Pryvillya, they were taken to Dnipro," he said.

Connection with the 11 people who hid in the basement in Shypilove settlement was lost. Continuous shellings don't let rescuers clean the rubble in Shypilove and in Bilogorivtsi and take other people out.

Russians destroyed the rest of the utility power in Popasna that had worked. Towns and villages controlled by Ukraine and Russian-occupied in 2014 remain without water. For the third time they hit the refinery.

The main Russian efforts are focused on trying to take control of Rubizhne and preparing to continue the offensive towards Lysychansk. The number of artillery and air attacks increased.

Despite this, last week Ukrainian troops repelled 71 Russian attacks, destroyed 67 Russian tanks, 26 artillery systems, 110 armored combat vehicles, 5 armored vehicles, 4 special and 39 engineering vehicles. Ukrainian air defense shot down 2 Russian planes, a helicopter, a cruise missile and 33 UAVs.
