Russian troops have launched artillery strikes on the city of Popasna, Luhansk Region, leaving two civilians killed and one injured.

The relevant statement was made by Luhansk Regional Military Administration Head Serhii Haidai on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

According to Haidai, Russian invaders are conducting an offensive all over the contact line. The enemy is focusing efforts on the offensive towards Sievierodonetsk and extensively shelling Ukrainian forces to push them back. The offensive towards Novotoshkivske and assault operations near Rubizhne and Popasna are underway.

“Three housing facilities were damaged in shelling of the residential areas of Popasna and Rubizhne. In Popasna, directly on the street, two persons were killed and one injured,” Haidai noted.

A reminder that, on April 22, 2022, Ukrainian defenders repulsed eight enemy attacks in Donetsk Region and Luhansk Region.
