Explosions in Luhansk and the region
Russian forces occupied parts of Luhansk region in 2014, including Luhansk city, which they have since transformed into a hub supporting Russian military units involved in the ongoing large-scale invasion.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to strike important Russian targets in Luhansk region, aiming to disrupt enemy logistics and deprive them of fuel supplies. For instance, on June 7, Luhansk came under heavy shelling. Strickes were recorded near the occupiers' deployment area.
The epicenter of the explosions included the airport, aircraft repair plant, the route to the Russian border, and barracks of the former Luhansk Higher Military Aviation School.
