A large explosion has hit central Lugansk city, the capital of the Lugansk People’s Republic in Donbass.
The explosion has reportedly destroyed the Monument to the Defenders of the Lugansk People’s Republic as well as a military vehicle parked nearby. This has occurred as world leaders gather at the UN General Assembly to debate contemporary issues of peace, including the ongoing war of aggression on the Republics of Donbass.
Below is a pre-blast photo of the monument.

Due to the historic significance of the monument and the proximate timing of the blast to the opening of the UN General Assembly, terrorism is suspected as a possible cause of the blast.
Firefighters and rescue workers at now at the scene.
A previous explosion in July occurred just before Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin’s meeting at the G20 in Hamburg. The causes of that blast are still being investigated with some claiming it was a terrorist bomb with others calming it was due to a building collapse resulting from heavy rains.
Lugansk People’s Republic authorities have inspected the site. The reported that no one was injured but that the incident could be a terrorist attack conducted by the Kiev regime.

Why Am I not surprised. For shame for not letting those that merely seek peace get on with life and set the example the Fascist Ukraine should be following.
This is a part of instability operations, to instill fear , distrust, and make people flee. It’s been done before in the Croat ethnic cleansing operation against Serbs (organized and led by MPRI (Military Professional Resources Inc. USA)), but they had the UN on the ground, OSCE spies, French foreign legionnaires and US airpower to help them out.
For goodness sake, CCTV is now OLD inexpensive technology and should be deployed all over DPR and LPR to detect (and deter) the perpetrators of these acts of terror
It seems they are acting at will and have no fear of detection.
