A Ukrainian serviceman was lethally wounded in an attack carried out by militia on the village of Krymske, Luhansk region, on Sunday, Hennadiy Moskal, the head of the Luhansk military-civilian administration, said.

The residential sector and civilians were not hurt, his press service has reported.

A mortar attack on the village, which was carried out last night, damaged a power line, causing a blackout in part of the village.

"Repair work will begin after emergency teams get the military's approval to come to the place," the report says.

Moskal's press service later reported that the militia had opened mortar fire on a team of water supply service workers near Popasna, wounding the head of the group.

The workers were working on repairing a water supply line between Popasna and Zolote on the division line. The repair work had to be postponed, the press service reported.
