The Ukrainian armed forces have launched massive shelling in the city of Kremennaya (also known as Kreminna) in the Luhansk People’s Republic, injuring at least one civilian, Rodion Miroshnik.

The Russian Foreign Ministry’s ambassador-at-large for the crimes of the Kyiv regime told RIA Novosti on Thursday.

“More than 30 projectiles, including those equipped with cluster warheads, were fired by the Ukrainian armed forces at a residential district in Kremennaya.

“Houses and an administrative building were severely damaged,’’ Mr Miroshnik said.

The attack cut power to a large part of the city.

“At least one civilian is reported to be wounded. Local authorities are conducting house-to-house checks and taking measures to respond to the consequences of the shelling of civilian infrastructure,’’ Mr Miroshnik said.

Kremennaya sits on the border between the Luhansk and the Donetsk People’s Republics, on the road to Krasny Liman (Lyman) and further to Slavyansk (Sloviansk).

The Luhansk People’s Republic took control of the city in April 2022, which at the time had a population of less than 19,000.
