In the Russian-occupied Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine, a Russian warplane accidentally released a bomb on the town of Rubizhne, Leonid Pasechnik, the head of the region’s Moscow-appointed government, said.

He said the bomb, an FAB-250 that carries a high-explosive warhead, did not cause injuries.

The incident comes only six days after Russia accidentally dropped munitions over the village of Petropavlovka in the Belgorod region.

Russia has occupied parts of the Luhansk region since 2014. After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Moscow’s troops seized the majority of the region, including Rubizhne.
