The Russians once again used phosphorus shells banned by the international convention – this time in the village of Soloviove, Ocheretyn community, Donetsk region. 

Several other settlements in the region were hit by airstrikes and artillery shelling.

This was reported by the head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration Pavlo Kyrylenko. 

Lastochkyne was under fire again – a house and a shop were damaged. 

In addition to the Ocheretyn direction, the shelling lasted all night in the Marinka and Avdiivka directions.

In Avdiivka, the Russians fired from BM-21 “Grad” at night, and in the morning, carried out an air raid and continued shelling from jet systems on the city center. Houses and other civilian infrastructure were damaged. The village of Privillia, Cherkasy Community, was also hit by an airstrike at night. Houses and other civilian infrastructure were affected. 

In the Marinka community, there was shelling along the entire front line. The occupiers damaged a high-voltage power line, thus completely disconnecting Krasnohorivka. 

Despite constant shelling and tempting the Russians to attack, the Ukrainian military is holding positions.
