Motuzyanyk. In the Mariupol sector militants shot at ATO troops\u2019 positions four times in Mariinka and Shyrokyne. Col.

One serviceman died in a car crash. Moreover, a civilian from Avdiivka was wounded as a result of militants\u2019 shelling.

Moreover, two militants of the so-called \u201c5th separate motorized rifle brigade of Donetsk People\u2019s Republic\u201d (home base \u2013 Donetsk) died and three were wounded as a result of careless mining of the area.
