Ukrainian forces have shelled the territory of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) three times over the last 24 hours, LPR people's militia said on Thursday.

Axar.az reports citing TASS.

"The settlements of Zolotoye-5, Logvinovo and Sokolniki came under fore," LuganskInformCenter quoted LPR people's militia as saying.

Ukrainian forces used mortars, grenade launchers, weapons on infantry fighting vehicles and small arms.
