HIMARS strike on hospitality venue "Adriatika" in occupied Lysychansk in Luhansk Oblast on 3 February "destroyed dozens of "LPR" officials, including emergency services Minister Aleksey Potelshenko, public prosecutors, policemen, local deputies and defectors".
According to Russian sources, the strike was adjusted by someone present at the venue or nearby, knowing the positions of the attendees.
The information about the strike emerged on Russian news channels with the context that it was a random civilian bakery that was attacked.
Official news present this as a strike against civilians, however, leaks from smaller Russian channels reveal that it was a congregation of big local names that was targeted. A birthday party was being held there. However, it is claimed that some civilians, perhaps relatives of the officials, were also casualties of this strike.
There are names of the targets floating about but these are not confirmed.
Ukraine did not take responsibility for this strike. Claims that HIMARS missiles were used come from the Russian side.
