Most tense situation was observed in the Donetsk sector. \u201cAdversary was firing upon Ukrainian positions south of Troyitske and Luhanske several times over the last day, mostly in the day time. There was also a short-lasting combat engagement in this area between ATO forces and a small hostile group,\u201d said Colonel Motuzyanyk. Number of provocations has gone up in the Horlivka agglomeration, namely in Zaitseve, Mayorsk and Novhorodske. \u201cThus a short-lasting mortar attack upon Ukrainian positions took place in Zaitseve.

Thus, two mission\u2019s forward patrol bases will start operating in Krasnoarmiysk and Svitlodarsk on January 14. \u201cMonitor teams will be constantly present at the positions, they will rotate on a weekly basis. It will enable the mission to quicker register ceasefire violations in this part,\u201d said Colonel Motuzyanyk.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s Security Service detained three persons \u2013 militant group members and those who collaborated with them. \u201cMilitant from \u2018Oplot\u2019 group was detained by Ukrainian law enforcement when he was trying to illegally cross the contact line near Donetsk.

Over 400 rounds of ammunition for automatic weapons, hand-held grenade launcher and two TNT blocks 200g each were discovered in a garage in Severodonetsk hidden in a car. \u201cMilitants of the so-called \u2018Luhansk People\u2019s Republic\u2019 (\u2018LPR\u2019) group stole the vehicle in question in summer 2014 when the car shop was being transferred from Lysychansk,\u201d noted Colonel Motuzyanyk, The car was returned to its owner.
