Smoke was seen rising above a former aviation school in the eastern city used by the Russian military. Moscow-installed officials said Kyiv had carried out the attack with two Storm Shadow long-range missiles supplied by the UK. An administrative building was damaged, they said.
The strike follows a similar attack on Saturday in Luhansk that destroyed a multi-storey building and wounded a Russian MP. Russian state media showed fragments it claimed had come from missiles.
There was a further explosion yesterday in the city centre. The blast took place in a crowded barber's shop. The Luhansk interior minister, Major Gen Igor Kornet, was seriously wounded, apparently while getting his hair cut. One person was killed and five others injured.
