On the contact line between Butivka Mine \u2013 Opytne \u2013 Pisky the enemy was using tanks and starting from 7 p.m. artillery,\u201d elaborated the ATO spokesman. Militant groups also fired from howitzers upon the rear area near Keramik, 13 km away from the contact line. Massive artillery attacks took place on the northern outskirts of Horlivka. According to Ukrainian military intelligence last night militants were also purposefully firing upon the territory they control \u2013 Trudovsky (Petrovsky district of Donetsk) and Yasynuvata.<\/p>\n

Three flights of militant unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were registered in ATO area yesterday. Two of them took place in the Luhansk sector near Shchastia and Popasna, one in the Donetsk sector.<\/p>\n

Colonel Andriy Lysenko said that Ukraine\u2019s Security Service detained a militant of the so-called \u201cLuhansk People\u2019s Republic\u201d (\u201cLPR\u201d). \u201cThe perpetrator has been part of a \u201cKazak\u201d militant group since August 2015.
