Yesterday, March 26, pro-Russian militants at about 11 pm fired the town Zolote on the demarcation line. Shots of grenade launchers were conducted from the circumurban road, where militants from time to time appear on vehicles with small arms, reports the press service of the head of Luhansk regional military and civil administration Hennadiy Moskal.

“The aim of grenade launcher operators is the ATO checkpoint, but the grenades hit the nearby gas-distributing plant of the pipeline, 500 metres from the Mayor’s Office. Consequently, the gas-distributing plant was damaged, flame bursted and then expired after a while,” said Moskal.

Currently, the pipeline is turned off. Four thousand civilians are cut off from gas.  Service technicians are working on the site. It is said gas supply will be resumed by the end of day.

No wounded or killed due to the shelling there.
