Ukrainian militants tried to intimidate the civilian population of the Luhansk People’s Republic. The missile attack on the republic during his vacation is proof of this. This was stated by Acting LPR Chief Leonid Pasechnik.

“On Republic Day, the Leninsky district of the city of Lugansk was shelled by Ukrainian nationalists. The bombing of the city on a public holiday is another attempt by the Kiev terrorist regime to intimidate civilians,” he said on the Telegram channel.

Pasechnik added that the circumstances of the incident are being established. Firefighters and all emergency services are on site. Information on affected citizens is also clarified.

Earlier we showed footage from Lugansk showing thick black smoke rising skyward above a building in the city.

Later it became known that before the explosions in Lugansk they heard a noise resembling a rocket. His blow landed on the Poly-Pak factory, almost completely destroying the building. Chemicals were produced there.

One of the witnesses noted that there were probably three rockets, as residents felt three shock waves.
