They used mortar launchers 16 times. \u201cThe fiercest fighting continues in the Avdiivka industrial area virtually 24\/7. The enemy began heavy mortar fire at night and lasting for about five hours. Residential quarters came under fire yet again. Two buildings were damaged and a local inhabitant was wounded,\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">informed the spokesman of the Presidential Administration on ATO related issues Colonel Andriy Lysenko at a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18-07_eng1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazyload alignnone wp-image-45306\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 1000 831'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18-07_eng1.jpg\" alt=\"18-07_eng\" width=\"1000\" height=\"831\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, intense firefights continued near Zaitseve where Russia-backed militants were shooting almost non-stop. \u201cIt should be pointed out that the adversary is shooting from two directions at once \u2013 from the south and from the east. Heavy armor \u2013 82mm mortar launchers \u2013 is deployed at both positions held by militants,\u201d said Col. Lysenko. \u00a0Provocations took place in other positions on the outskirts of Horlivka \u2013 in Novhorodske and Varkhniotoretske as well as at the Svitlodarsk bulge and Butovka coal mine position. The armistice held in Opytne and Pisky yesterday. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Militants attacked seven times in 24 hours in the Luhansk sector, three incidents involved the use of mortar launchers. Insurgents shelled Ukrainian troop positions near Staryi Aidar and the outskirts, Orikhove in the Bakhmut road and in the vicinity of Popasna. Almost all the attacks took place during the hours of darkness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Mariupol sector, Russian proxies conducted 17 attacks yesterday, including seven mortar attacks and three cases of sniping fire. \u201cThe vicinity of Starohnativka and Shyrokyne are the central flashpoints. Hostile snipers were active in Mariinka yesterday. Moreover, militants used a armored personnel carrier. A local inhabitant sustained a fragmentation injury yesterday. The woman was taken to the hospital in Kurakhove,\u201d said the spokesman. He added that five buildings were damaged in Mariinka for the last three days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One Ukrainian serviceman died in combat yesterday and five were wounded. Three militants were killed from the self-proclaimed 11<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> regiment (Makiivka), 9<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> regiment (Novoazovsk and 3<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> brigade (Horlivka) and seven were injured. Militant subdivisions engaged in hostilities in the Avdiivka industrial area incurred the biggest losses. \u201cAccording to the military intelligence, it is the reason why a Russian National guard unit arrived at Avdiivka industrial area. It is planned they will act as a retreat-blocking detachment,\u201d said Col. Lysenko.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The spokesman also informed that militants from so-called 1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> brigade broke up spontaneous rally of civilians in one of the near-front towns on the temporarily occupied territory. People walked out protesting against deploying firing positions of militant artillery detachments in residential quarters of the town. \u201cDuring this brutal action insurgents heavily wounded three civilians using fire arms. In order to prevent further civil unrest and cover up this tragedy, the enemy\u2019s command broadcasted gossip that it was a militant suffering from mental disorder who shot at local inhabitants. They said he had left the ranks of Russia-backed militant groups long time ago,\u201d elaborated the spokesman.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"mace-gallery-teaser\"\n\tid=\"mace-gallery-57183-1\"\n\tdata-g1-gallery-title=\"\"\n\tdata-g1-gallery=\"[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:57185,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;18-07&quot;,&quot;thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/07\\\/18-071-150x150.jpg&quot;,&quot;3-2-thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/07\\\/18-071.jpg&quot;,&quot;full&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/07\\\/18-071.jpg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:57186,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;18-07_eng&quot;,&quot;thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/07\\\/18-07_eng1-150x150.jpg&quot;,&quot;3-2-thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/07\\\/18-07_eng1.jpg&quot;,&quot;full&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/07\\\/18-07_eng1.jpg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:57187,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;18-07_rus&quot;,&quot;thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/07\\\/18-07_rus1-150x150.jpg&quot;,&quot;3-2-thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/07\\\/18-07_rus1.jpg&quot;,&quot;full&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/07\\\/18-07_rus1.jpg&quot;}]\"\n\tdata-g1-share-shortlink=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/en\/45304-andrij-lisenko-239#mace-gallery-57183-1\"\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\/07\/18-071.jpg\" class=\"attachment-bimber-grid-standard-2x size-bimber-grid-standard-2x\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18-071.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18-071-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18-071-768x638.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\t3 images\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH IN ENGLISH Hostilities remain incessant in the ATO zone.
