Militants fired on our position with three full loads of Grad multiple rocket launcher systems,\u201d\u00a0said Colonel Oleksandr Motuzyanyk, spokesperson of Administration of the President of Ukraine on ATO-related issues, at a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.\u00a0Moreover, pro-Russian fighters attacked Ukrainian troops with mortar fire in Stanytsya Luhanska, while Ukrainian forces registered the use of grenade launchers near Tryokhizbenka and Krymske.

Though the situation remains calm from Nelipivka to Verkhnyotoretske, Ukrainian towns repeatedly come under fire. For instance, militants opened fire upon Avdiivka after midnight yesterday. Three civilians were wounded as a result of militants\u2019 tank attack on Nevelske village from the west from Pisky. The Joint Center for Control and Coordination (JSCC) reported repeated militant attempts to impede the renovation of destroyed infrastructure, in particular water pipelines and railway lines in areas near the front,\u201d added the spokesperson.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the Mariupol sector, Russia-backed militant groups fired upon Ukrainian positions using artillery in the vicinity of Bohdanivka village between Volnovakha and Komsomolske.\u00a0 Militants fired from 120mm mortars as well as from antitank missile systems on Hranitne village.

An explosion at Zaporizhia Regional State Administration on March 25 was financed from these funds. Law enforcement seized financial documents, bank cards and a substantial sum in hryvnia, US dollars and euros,&#8221; said Col.
