As a result all gas stations have closed. The residents state that\u00a0a single gas station is working somewhere, but nobody knows which one. Operators of the other\u00a0gas stations\u00a0are waiting for the situation to change, since they would lose money on sales at the set price.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lutugine<\/strong>\r\n\r\n23:16 - A military convoy entered the village Rozkishne from Lutugine, it took the convoy\u00a0over 20 minutes to pass.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sectors B and M<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Hranitne<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFrom 6:00 to 8:30 the militants shelled the village Hranitne with mortars.
