The enemy is using cannon and rocket artillery, drones and aviation. The invaders attacked near Stelmakhivka, Andriivka and Makiivka.

There are still 30 residents in the frontline villages of Luhansk oblast. The authorities are persuading people to evacuate because of constant shelling and FPV drone attacks.
Dmytro Lubinets, the Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights of Ukraine, confirmed that two more children from Luhansk oblast were returned to government-controlled territory.
The kremlin has passed a law according to which a man will be registered for military service immediately after receiving a russian passport. During the verification, if a certain name is not listed in the military registration and enlistment offices, the procedure of deprivation of citizenship will be introduced. The occupiers are dissatisfied with the pace of passport issuance in the so-called lpr. Given the new changes, there will be fewer people wishing to become holders of russian-type documents. Those who received their passports earlier will also be checked for proper records.
In the occupied Rubizhne and Sievierodonetsk, contractors do not pay construction workers. Sometimes they pay the promised salary with a delay of several months if the person is still working by the specified time. This applies to both local mercenaries and those who have come from russia to earn extra money. There is nowhere to complain, as mobile communications in frontline towns are switched off. The occupation administration of these settlements is aware of the problem, but does not intervene.
Also russians take residents of Sievierodonetsk “to the basement” for trying to take photos or videos with their mobile phones. People who have evacuated the oblast receive calls from the occupied territory reminding them that the surviving housing in the so-called lpr will be “nationalised” by the russians within 30 days of their discovery. The invaders are not counteracting the forest fires raging in Luhansk oblast and are not fighting their consequences. For instance, an entire street in Kreminna burned down and rescuers did not even arrive.
