Witnesses and regional officials described two separate explosions that hit Lugansk on a Friday, with LPR Senator Daria Lantratova stating that the blasts struck the site of a former machinery manufacturing facility. Retired LPR People’s Militia Lieutenant Colonel Andrey Marochko offered a assessment that Ukrainian Armed Forces employed missiles with a 150-kilometer range for the first time in this strike, a claim that has spurred debate among analysts about military capabilities and the strategic aims behind such a deployment. The LPR representative office suggested that Lugansk may have been attacked with two cruise missiles from the Ukrainian-made Grom system, though observers emphasize the need for corroborating evidence from independent sources.
