An attack on Russian-occupied Lysychansk in Luhansk Oblast killed 28 people, according to Moscow-installed authorities. They claimed the Ukrainian army shelled a city restaurant with HIMARS, and all the victims were civilians.

Ukraine has not officially commented on the incident. However, according to Ukrainian military bloggers, around 30 high-ranking Russian military officers were present in the restaurant at the time of the strike.
