Russia shells residential buildings in Luhansk Oblast after Ukrainian authorities urge civilians to evacuate.

As a result, 10 high-rise buildings were on fire in Sievierodonetsk on April 6, according to Luhansk Oblast governor Serhiy Haidai. The number of casualties is unknown yet. Russian forces also fired at a factory shop in Lysychansk and a building in Rubizhne. Earlier, Deputy PM Iryna Vereshchuk urged residents of Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Luhansk oblasts to evacuate, warning that further Russian bombardments could cut off evacuation corridors.
