The authorities of the Lugansk People's Republic announced Sunday that 200 tons of diesel fuel caught fire as a result of an explosion at an oil storage facility in the city of Rovinki caused by Ukrainian shelling.

LPR authorities said the blast could have been caused by the strike of a Ukrainian Tochka-U missile, noting that there were casualties, the number of which is still unknown.

According to the Joint Centre for Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire regime (JCCC), 36 homes were damaged in Horlivka, Donetsk, including 8 civilian buildings, by Ukrainian forces, and 7 vehicles were subjected to targeted attacks by Ukrainian troops.

The attacks by Ukrainian forces come as Russia enters the fourth day of its special military operation in Donbass over the constant Ukrainian shelling of Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics, whose independence Moscow recognized a few days ahead of the operation.

Yesterday, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that Lugansk People's forces have advanced 30 km since the start of the Russian military operation, whereas Donetsk forces have advanced 6 km.
