Luhansk/ Sputnik//UNI: Around 1,800 civilians, including 31 minors, have been killed on the territory of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) since the beginning of a conflict in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region, the LPR’s National Security Ministry told Sputnik.
"As a result of Ukraine’s military aggression, the death of 31 children and around 1,800 civilians has been registered, according to documented and confirmed data. Around 1,700 people have sustained various injuries," the ministry said late on Thursday.
