A Ukrainaian strike on the  Bilorichenska ​coal mine in ‌the Russian-controlled Luhansk region has damaged a power substation and trapped about 41 mine workers underground, a Russian installed official said on Monday.<\/p>\n

Leonid Pasechnik, the Moscow-appointed head of the ​region, said, “All the relevant services are taking steps ​to rescue the ​miners and restore power ‌to the mine.”<\/p>\n

He said that the contact with the miners was established it was ensured that they had a supply of drinking water.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian military has denied Russia’s claim that the country had fully taken control of the Luhansk oblast in eastern Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Russia currently occupies the majority of the region, with the city of Luhansk, and the regional government is currently controlled by Kremlin-installed proxies, Ukrainian media reported.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian troops are “holding the last lines of defence in the region,” Ukraine’s Third Assault Brigade said in a post on Telegram.<\/p>\n

“Symbolically, on April 1, the Russian Defence Ministry once again announced the complete capture of Luhansk Oblast by its troops. In fact, Ukrainian forces — units of the Third Assault Brigade — remain in the region,” the unit said.<\/p>\n

The brigade said that the Russian forces carried out 144 assault attempts in settlements near the Luhansk-Donetsk border over the past six months, involving over 260 Russian soldiers. Russia has lost up to 260 personnel in the attempts, the brigade said according to the Kyiv Independant.<\/p>\n

Russia had continued to demand that Ukraine withdraw its troops from the Donbas region, where Luhansk is located.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a Russian drone strike on the Ukraine’s Black sea port in Odesa overnight had killed three people, including a child.<\/p>\n

The strike also damaged infrastructure, residential and administrative buildings.<\/p>\n

Oleh ​Kiper, Odesa regional governor, said on the Telegram app, “Overnight, Odesa came under another ​heavy attack by the enemy,” Three people were killed, and 10 people were injured, he confirmed.<\/p>\n

“Residential buildings, ‌critical infrastructure and administrative facilities were hit. There is significant damage,” Kiper said.<\/p>\n

The Ukraine-Russia war is now in its fifth year. Moscow has escalated its attacks on Odesa, which is a key logistics hub in southern Ukraine and the country’s largest port. The port handles Ukrainian grain and other maritime exports.<\/p>\n

Both incidents have come amid an increased number of cross-border strikes in the ongoing conflict.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
