[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunwoo Lee] The Russian government has announced that the Ukrainian military has launched an attack on the eastern Ukrainian Luhansk region, which is occupied by pro-Russian separatists, raising concerns about an escalation of the conflict.
On the 16th (local time), Russia's Sputnik News cited a statement from the Joint Control and Coordination Center (JCCC), reporting that at 2:30 a.m. that day, the Ukrainian military began shelling four areas within eastern Luhansk, occupied by pro-Russian separatists, using mortars and grenades. The Luhansk region is currently governed by the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic, a pro-Russian separatist group.
