A storm of the location of a Ukrainian National Guard regiment in Luhansk by unlawful armed groups lasted for more than 10 hours, and 3 Ukrainian servicemen were injured, the National Guard press service said.

“The law enforcers returned fire until their ammunition ran out. 3 law enforcement officers were wounded. The attackers had about 20 men wounded and 6 dead. The gunfire destroyed the motor pool and the unit’s headquarters and damaged a barrack,” the report runs.

“Servicemen of the military unit are being moved to a safe place,” the National Guard said.

Over 300 unknown armed men surrounded the location of a patrol police regiment of the Ukrainian National Guard stationed in Luhansk early in the morning hours on June 4 and opened fire on the law enforcers.

They were firing heavy weapons, such as submachine guns, machine guns, mortars and grenade launchers. There were snipers there, too.
