The SBU found three caches in Luhansk region arranged by militants. Among the seized: warheads for Smerch multiple rocket launcher and over 30 kg of explosives.

The information about possible arrangement of the cache by a reconnaissance group that may be involved in detonation of two bridges in Pidhorivka and Yevsug villages in July 2014, is being checked.
