Russian troops entered the outskirts of Severodonetsk. These are the north-eastern and south-eastern parts of the city, said the Head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration Serhiy Haiday in a telegram.

Heavy fighting for Severodonetsk and Lysychansk continue. The enemy used all possible weapons and aircraft.

"However, our military is holding the line to prevent the enemy from moving deeper inside the country. Russian shells killed two people from Severodonetsk and wounded five others. Most of them are residents of a neighborhood in the old part of the city. Two residents of Sirotyn suffered serious injuries. All the wounded received home medical care and are already in hospitals in Donetsk region," Haiday said.

Yesterday the enemy destroyed at least 12 houses in Severodonetsk, 18 in Lysychansk, 10 in Vrubivka and a house of culture, three in Zolote, and two each in Nyrkovo, Mykolaivka and Viktorivka.

The russians are transferring ammunition and equipment in large numbers to the Severodonetsk area.

Yesterday Haiday reported that enemy troops settled down in the Severodonetsk hotel "Peace", on the outskirts of the city. The General Staff report said that the enemy was trying to gain a foothold on the northeastern outskirts of the city of Severodonetsk, and led an assault in the direction of the city center.
