Lysenko. Luhanske, Zaitseve, Maiorsk and Avdiivka remain the main flashpoints. \u201cHostile attacks lasting for several hours became usual for the Avdiivka industrial zone. Militants\u2019 bullets and shells reach residential quarters as well. A secondary school was damaged in Avdiivka in the result of such an artillery barrage. Luckily, no one was injured,\u201d said the spokesman.<\/p>\n<p>The situation in the Mariupol sector escalated the number of attacks there reached 29, most of them in Mariinka, Novotroitske and Shyrokyne. \u201cIn addition to a series of mortar assaults, the adversary is actively using armored personnel vehicles and snipers,\u201d said Col. Lysenko.<\/p>\n<p>Militants violated the armistice in the Luhansk sector two times near Stanytsia Luhanska and three times near Triokhizbenka. In almost all the cases ATO troops were forced to respond with fire. According to the Chief Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, an echelon with combustible and lubrication materials for Russia-backed militant groups arrived at militants-controlled Krasnodon. \u201cEchelon carrying about 200 tons of ammunition came to Debaltseve; 12 tanks and 18 combat armored vehicles entered Ilovaisk,\u201d said Col. Lysenko.<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement officers found two weapons caches at the near-front area. The first one on the outskirts of Krasnoarmiysk in Donetsk region contained three grenade launchers, two missiles for them, seven grenades, almost one kilogram of TNT and large number of cartridges of various calibers. National Guard officers found boxes with shells for anti-aircraft mount, Kalashnikov assault rifle and a box with grenades in the second cache near Hrodivka village in Krasnoiarmiysk district, Donetsk region. Col. Lysenko also informed that two trucks carrying 20 tons of household detergents from the International Red Cross Committee proceeded yesterday through Novotroitske checkpoint to the uncontrolled territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"mace-gallery-teaser\"\n\tid=\"mace-gallery-52132-1\"\n\tdata-g1-gallery-title=\"\"\n\tdata-g1-gallery=\"[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:52134,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;13-04_eng&quot;,&quot;thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/04\\\/13-04_eng-150x150.jpg&quot;,&quot;3-2-thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/04\\\/13-04_eng.jpg&quot;,&quot;full&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/04\\\/13-04_eng.jpg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:52135,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;13-04&quot;,&quot;thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/04\\\/13-04-150x150.jpg&quot;,&quot;3-2-thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/04\\\/13-04.jpg&quot;,&quot;full&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/04\\\/13-04.jpg&quot;}]\"\n\tdata-g1-share-shortlink=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/en\/42073-andrij-lisenko-197#mace-gallery-52132-1\"\n\t>\n\t<a class=\"mace-gallery-teaser-poster\">\n\t\t<img width=\"492\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/13-04_eng.jpg\" class=\"attachment-bimber-grid-standard-2x size-bimber-grid-standard-2x\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/13-04_eng.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/13-04_eng-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/13-04_eng-768x638.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/>\t\t<span class=\"mace-gallery-teaser-button\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"g1-epsilon g1-epsilon-1st mace-gallery-teaser-button-text\">View Gallery<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"g1-meta mace-gallery-teaser-button-counter\">\n\t\t\t\t2 images\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH IN ENGLISH \u00a0 Kyiv, April 13, 2016.
