Kyiv's Information Resistance group coordinator, Dmytro Tymchuk, has reported that local militants opened fire on the Luhansk airport, which is currently under the control of the anti-terrorist operation forces.

The shooting continued from 0430 to 0440 local time, he said.

Ukrainian servicemen fired in response. None of them was killed or injured, Tymchuk said.

According to Tymchuk, a convoy of armored combat vehicles belonging to the militants has entered Luhansk.

"The convoy consists of two T-64 tanks and five armored personnel carriers," he added.
