Kyiv, August 1, 2016.<\/strong> <\/em>Militants’ attacks continue along the entire front line in the ATO zone. One Ukrainian serviceman died in combat and six were injured. In the Donetsk sector, the day started with intense attacks from heavy armor organized by militants in the Avdiivka -Krasnohorivka frontline area. Militants launched over 20 mortar shells and 80 artillery missiles within 180 minutes at the Avdiivka industrial area. “Insurgents used 120-mm mortar launchers in addition to 122-mm and 152-mm cannons deployed in two different positions – in Yakovlivka and the Donetsk airport,” informed Col. Lysenko, spokesman of the Presidential Administration on ATO related issues, at a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.<\/p>\n

Following large-scale artillery preparation, firefights between Ukrainian troops and militants started at the demarcation line. They lasted till dawn and resumed again in the afternoon.
\nMoreover, strong mortar attacks delivered by Russian backed militant groups took place in Pisky and Krasnohorivka.\u00a0The fire was rather dense, with militants launching an average of two mortar shells per hour at ATO troops’ positions. Active hostilities started near Horlivka and Donetsk in the afternoon. Russian proxies started shooting from mortar launchers after 4:00 p.m. The attack lasted till late night.\u00a0 \u201cIn total, 37 hostile attacks took place in the Donetsk sector yesterday, 14 of which involved use of heavy armor,\u201d added the spokesman.<\/p>\n

The main hostilities in the Luhansk sector, as usual, occurred in the Popasna area. Militants repeatedly violated the armistice during the hours of darkness, actively using mortar launchers and armor. \u201cAdversaries opened fire in Stanytsia Luhanska and shot from mortar launchers twice \u2013 in Krymske and Novotoshkivske. The absolute armistice in the frontline area held between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m.,\u201d said Col. Lysenko. In total, 13 militants\u2019 attacks took place in the Luhansk sector yesterday; four of them involved use of mortar launchers.<\/p>\n

Militants conducted 34 attacks in the Mariupol sector yesterday, seven of these from heavy armor. A number of mortar attacks took place between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. in the Mariinka area (Krasnohorivka-Mariinka frontline area). Hostilities resumed later in the afternoon. Three mortar attacks took place in Shyrokyne, and ATO troops defeated an assault of militants\u2019 subversive reconnaissance group near Bohdanivka. \u201cThe fight lasted about 20 minutes and ended in our troops\u2019 victory. In general, militants are violating ceasefire along the entire frontline, there are no calm areas in the Mariupol sector,\u201d added the spokesman.<\/p>\n

Militants organized two reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles\u2019 flights in the Donetsk and Mariupol sectors. Three militants died yesterday and 10 were wounded. \u201cThe so-called \u201c3rd\u201d and \u201c100th brigades and 11th regiment\u201d of the Russian occupational troops incurred losses,\u201d elaborated the spokesman.<\/p>\n

According to the Chief Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, five militants \u2013 Russian citizens (with surnames Avdiushkin, Demiankov, Kaluhin, Kyparenko and Yamanov) lodged a complaint with Russian military prosecutor regarding the command of the so-called \u201c9th regiment\u201d (Novoazovsk). \u201cThese five occupants have been recently injured in combat in the Mariupol sector, but didn\u2019t receive a penny for it, as their names weren\u2019t listed in the corresponding orders and reports of the regiment commanding officer to his higher command. Their commanders likely pocketed the money,\u201d said Col. Lysenko.<\/p>\n
