Eight attacks took place in the Luhansk sector in the 24 hours \u2013 in Stanytsia Luhanska, Triokhizbenka and Popasna, most of them during hours of darkness. In the Mariupol sector Russia-backed militant groups shelled ATO troops\u2019 positions 12 times, using mortar launchers 2 times. The majority of the attacks took place in the afternoon. \u201cMilitants, like before, violate the armistice along the entire frontline \u2013 in Mariinka, near Dokuchaevsk and southwards, near the Azov Sea (Pavlopil and Shyrokyne),\u201d informed the spokesman.<\/p>\n

The Security Service of Ukraine jointly with the National Guard and the State Service for Emergency Situations checked five cemeteries in Popasna, Luhansk region, for the presence of mines and other items of ordnance. A weapons cache was found at one of the cemeteries during the raid. \u201cThe access to the cache was mined using anti-personnel bounding mine OZM-72. Military engineers cleared the cache and seized three jet-driven flame guns Shmel and assault rocket grenade made in Russia,\u201d said Col. \u00a0Motuzyanyk.<\/p>\n
