"In the Lyman and Slovian directions, over the past day, the invaders attacked seven times near three settlements. In the territory of our region, they struck six times with artillery. In six cases, they used mortar installations. They also fired from automatic grenade launchers. The Russians' combat missions were carried out by five drones, " said the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, Oleksiy Kharchenko.

In occupied Rubizhne, the invaders again directed an aerial bomb at a residential area. They are complaining about an uncontrolled drop of a projectile from a Russian plane. This is at least the third time in the last two years that such an "accident" has happened in the territory of a small town. They made the previous two "unscheduled" drops in 2024. Then, under the guise of evacuating the population, they blocked the city and organized intensified filtration measures. No victims were reported. Just like now. Although the aerial bomb that fell on the roof pierced five floors.

According to the Russians, the low urban development potential in the so-called "LPR" is caused not by the critical infrastructure they destroyed, nor by the stopped industry, nor even by the damaged cities. The Unified Institute of Spatial Planning of the Russian Federation stated that this indicator is significantly influenced by the large number of waste dumps. They calculated that rock dumps occupy about 10% of the entire territory. The occupiers are again shifting the blame to others.
