The Main Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case into explosion of a road overpass in Lugansk, used on the route of the humanitarian convoy of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations.

“On September 19, 2019, unidentified persons, carrying out obviously criminal orders from representatives of the highest political and military leadership of Ukraine, detonated three explosive devices installed on bridge supports near the intersection of Lutuginskaya and 1st Keramicheskaya streets in the city of Lugansk. It was over this bridge that after some time the 86th humanitarian convoy of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, consisting of 10 trucks, was supposed to pass.
