KYIV. Sept 3 (Interfax) - Power to Luhansk was cut off precisely a month ago. The city has been deprived of electricity, tap water and communication services throughout this period, says a report posted on the Luhansk City Council website.
"New residential buildings and socially significant sites report damage daily amid the incessant firing at the regional center," the report said.
The town of Shchastya in the Luhansk Zhovten district was attacked last night, local residents said. People in Shchastya woke up to the cannonade this morning and saw that residential buildings and other city infrastructure elements had been damaged.
"The hostilities and bombardments go on in the regional center. Eyewitnesses have reported damage done to residential buildings on Ochakivska and Lyneva Streets and in the Yuzhny and Haevogo neighborhoods. Some residential buildings were impacted in Yuvileine and a number of other districts," the report said.
Mini-bus service was working in Luhansk in the morning and people went out to buy food.
The absence of tap water remains a serious problem of the regional center. There is a natural flow of tap water on the lower stories of some houses.
There is still no supply of food, medicine or fuel to the city. People have run out of money and salaries, pensions and social allowances have not been paid for a long time, the City Council said.
