Right after I posted the above, this Tweet popped up from a Rebel account:
Lugansk: Fierce shelling
Used aircraft & Sabotage/Intel group
Airport is ours. Offensive launched on Schastye
Roskoshnoe free
(This is where a large National Guard unti is reported to be “Eliminated” by the rebels, a couple of hours ago.)
So who knows.....
Another Tweet from aother Rebel following account.
Rebels apparently have counter-attacked, and are taking/have retaken the airport.
Several tweets saying different things, but the conclusion is that a big fight is happening south of the city, right now, while shelling of the city itself continues.
