The night before Independence Day was restless in Luhansk region. Population centers of Luhansk region and fortifications of Ukrainian troops on the border of Luhansk region and Donetsk region withstood three missile strikes and one attack from the air.

Serhii Gaidai , the head of the Luhansk OVA , reported this in Telegram.

It is noted that the Russians shelled the area 13 times with barrel artillery, and another 17 times with multiple rocket launchers. Mortars were used five times. Six times the occupiers were forced to retreat when they tried to attack.

"Half a year - invincible. The occupiers have not been able to announce the capture of Luhansk Oblast, because the fighting is still going on in the small territory of the region. Our fighters keep defense even on Independence Day . You can see that the last two months the Russians lacked significant achievements. Because every region had time to prepare while the enemy was being slowed down in the east. Many of us lost our homes, but we saved our country," emphasized Serhiy Gaidai.

We will remind you that the enemy continues to focus its efforts on establishing full control over the territory of Donetsk region, maintaining the captured districts of Kherson, part of Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya and Mykolaiv regions, and restoring the combat capability of units that have suffered losses. Air and missile strikes by the occupiers on civilian objects on the territory of Ukraine continue - the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine asks Ukrainians not to ignore air warning signals.
