At least five people wounded in Russia’s shelling of Zolote

At least five people were wounded and several houses caught on fire as the town of Zolote in Luhansk region came under Russian fire.

"During the day, the enemy used MLRS to open fire on Zolote town. Several houses are on fire, at least five people were wounded," Head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration Serhiy Haidai posted on Telegram.

As he noted, the Russian army has been shelling the Hirske territorial community for almost two days, keeping the locals in fear. Not taking into account the situation in Zolote, where the damaged property is still assessed, 11 objects have been destroyed by the enemy during the day, including eight residential buildings in Sievierodonetsk, Lysychansk, Kreminna.

Earlier, Haidai reported that a woman had been killed in Lysychansk. There, the invaders fired on a house, and later the rescuers found a dead woman under the rubble.

On February 24, Russian president Putin launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops shell and destroy key infrastructure, launch missile strikes on residential buildings.
