What happened on 3 February 2024 reports
Summary
A look back at two incidents reported just before 5 February 2024: a refinery fire in Volgograd Oblast and civilian deaths in occupied Lysychansk.
What had been reported by 5 February 2024 about the latest strikes on both sides of the front? Two incidents dated 3 February 2024 stood out.
In Russia's Volgograd Oblast, Ukrainian long-range drones attacked a Lukoil oil refinery, causing a large fire and disrupting operations. Andrey Bocharov, the governor of Volgograd, said the attack had been repelled by air defences.
In Russian-occupied Lysychansk, in Luhansk Oblast, at least 28 civilians were killed by Ukrainian shelling, according to Russian-appointed local officials. The same officials said ten others were rescued after being trapped under rubble.
The two accounts, as reported at the time, came from different sources. The refinery fire and its disruption to operations were reported alongside the governor's statement about air defences. The casualty figures from Lysychansk came from officials appointed by Russia.
