[Kadiivka]: "Yday evening a drone was flying, unclear how it wasn't noticed and shot down. Of course the depot. Thanks to all who's brought the refugees here..." (the local pro-Russians have a conspiracy that the forced IDPs from Popasna leak intel to UA)
Luhansk oblast: "I was in my vegetable patch, two salvos were heard not far from us landing and explosions started" "bastards blew up a storage in #Rodakove (= not yet, it's for another time)"
#Zymohirya area: "Ammo detonation is ongoing, shells fly apart in different directions. The road is closed to our capital (= Luhansk-Zolote highway), the mobile communication is down. It's getting covered in smoke. And my neighbor is frying potatoes and humming some song"
Both locations are outside the towns (Russian propagandists have been already whining that there's a kindergarten nearby - I wonder if it's at the mine Cherkaska in Zymohirya or in the field near Rodakove)
#Popasna: Some takeaways from a thread about the situation in Popasna by a Ukrainian soldier:
- Russians kept storming all day, throwing tanks, when repelled, storming with support of artym infantry, tanks, BMPs
- "As I get it, what remained of Rusnya was storming" 1/X
#Popasna:
- Russians deployed an assault brigade withdrawn from Mariupol to storm Popasna
- "The attacks are unsuccessful and clumsy because their commanders are shit: the first storming line bogs down, we stop and cut off the second line that goes behind" 2/X
#Popasna:
- "Also, Russian snipers are working, but they don't live long"
- Battles are ongoing at the very outskirts of Popasna.
- Russians try to break through Rubizhne, Popasna using aircraft, helicopters, heavy guns, MLRS, but ZSU doesn't allow them to succeed 3/X
01:49 #Kadiivka: "Maternity ward area: very loud..." "It's like our (RU) guys firing at us, a shot's heard and then it lands somewhere" "On #Yunykh_Leninstsiv it's just hit, fragments have been heard"
May02 morning #Kadiivka, Luhansk oblast (occupied): "Such launches people observe here for a pretty long time now. They usually launch them in pairs from some place in the fields behind #Chutyne"
#Kadiivka: "From a longer distance, it usually looks like straight vertical launches and the trail is smaller. The number of the launched (missiles) varies, but all in pairs, the hum lasts up to a minute"
