Militants shelled ATO troops\u2019 positions in the Donetsk sector using mortar launchers, armored vehicles and anti-tank guided missile systems. \u201cAttacks take place both at night and during the day, almost non-stop. Several residential buildings were damaged during shelling,\u201d said the spokesman. Avdiivka remains another hotspot. \u201cMilitants deployed sufficient forces in this sector: armored vehicles (armored personnel carriers (APC) and tanks), mortar battery and snipers. Militants are shooting mostly from the east (Yasynuvata-Mineralne section of the frontline),\u201d informed Col. Motuzyanyk. Moreover, several intense attacks involving use of APC took place in Luhanske at the Svitlodarsk bulge, and two mortar assaults were registered in Troitske.<\/p>\n

In the Mariupol sector militants used mortar launchers several times in Krasnohorivka and Shyrokyne. \u201cMinister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Linas Linkevicius observed evening mortar shelling militants conducted in Shyrokyne with his own eyes, becoming personally certain of aggressive behavior of militant groups and Russia,\u201d said Col. Motuzyanyk. He added that militants\u2019 snipers became active in Mariinka district, where five incidents were registered in the last 24 hours. The total of 11 attacks took place in the Mariupol sector yesterday.<\/p>\n

Col. Motuzyanyk said that during check of a detainee escort officer in Donetsk region it was found that in 2014 he delivered the detained to commandant\u2019s office of the self-proclaimed \u201cDonetsk People\u2019s Republic\u201d (\u201cDPR\u201d). \u201cClose cooperation of police and prosecutor\u2019s office helped to discover connection between the policeman and occupants,\u201d said the spokesman. He said that the police of Donetsk region revealed more than 100 militants from Russia-backed militant groups \u201cVostok\u201d, \u201cOplot\u201d, \u201cCheburashka\u201d and \u201cCossacks\u201d.<\/p>\n
