Yuvileine is a suburb of the city of Luhansk.

x Yuvileine which got hit today is a huge garrison and an important C2 node. The russians like to set up in and around mines. It's very likely they use the mines to be somewhat protected. https://t.co/5VmMKYBp8m — Def Mon (@DefMon3) July 16, 2023

And purple smoke too.

Drink beer or save drowning pilot? I guess it was Miller Time!

x Russians continue their meltdown over the footage of a Su-25 that crashed into the sea yesterday.
