Russian aggressors killed two civilians, injured five more in Luhansk region last night - Haidai

Serhii Haidai, head of the Luhansk regional military administration, said this in a statement posted on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

"The Russians are deliberately targeting civilians! Residents of Rubizhne lost more than 20 houses overnight. One was killed, five were wounded… Rubizhne was cynically shelled over the past day and night. Whole streets were burning in the city. In the regional center of Sievierodonetsk, the occupiers took one life," he wrote.

According to him, the invaders use all kinds of weapons to kill residents of the Luhansk region. Heavy fighting was recorded in Popasna as well, where residential houses were damaged.

"It is already extremely difficult to count the damage, because every building in the region has suffered at the hands of the Russians!" Haidai said.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops have been shelling and destroying key infrastructure, residential areas of Ukrainian cities and villages using artillery, multiple launch rocket systems and ballistic missiles.
