Details of explosions appeared in Luhansk on June 7
The head of the Luhansk RMA , Artem Lysogor, reported that the hits were in the area of the town of Gostra Mohyla, near the barracks of the former Luhansk Higher Military School of Navigators, where the Russian occupiers live and study.
There is also a resort, an aircraft repair plant, and the route to the border with Russia runs there. The Russian army transports goods, weapons, and soldiers along this route day and night.
Based on local photographs, OSINT teams geolocated a repair base near the Luhansk College of Information Technology.
The military equipment on Google Maps can be seen on its territory. Locals showed a photo of a destroyed building with a red roof: it stands next to this base.
In addition, according to Lysohor, there are also reports of strikes on an oil depot — for the fourth time in the last two months.
Instead, the occupation authorities claim that as of 2:00 p.m., more than 35 people were allegedly injured in the shelling, and three more people were killed.
Lysogor notes that the weapons provided to the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the Western Allies are extremely accurate, and if the Air Defense Forces did not work on residential areas, there would be no reports of civilian casualties.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have not officially announced the attack on Luhansk.
