Militants continued mass attacks at Ukrainian positions in the Donetsk sector using heavy weapons. Virtually all the positions and towns on the contact line suffered from such attacks. \u201cThe situation was particularly tense from midnight to 7 a.m. when Novhorodske (35 artillery missiles), Verkhniotoretske (90 mortar shells) and Krasnohorivka (54 artillery missiles) came under hostile fire,\u201d elaborated Col. Lysenko.<\/p>\n

In the Mariupol sector fighting mostly took place in Hnutove-Shyrokyne frontline area. \u201cFor instance, militants mortared Shyrokyne several times and conducted an extremely intense artillery attack from 152-mm cannons. Moreover, Russia-backed militant groups used mortar launchers in Taramchuk, Talakivka, Vodiane and Lebedynske,\u201d said the spokesman. Over 10 combat engagements between militants and Ukrainian troops took place in Mariinka and Shyrokyne.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian Armed Forces incurred no losses in combat yesterday, and one Ukrainian serviceman was injured.<\/p>\n

Col. Lysenko added that Russian proxies were conducting active aerial reconnaissance. \u201cFor instance, a tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) <\/em>was observed in responsibility area of so-called 5th<\/sup> and 100th<\/sup> brigade of combined Russian-militant forces; two UAVs were flying from Pravdivka to Ocheretyne and one UAV was registered in <\/em>responsibility area of militants\u2019 so-called 7th<\/sup> brigade and 9th<\/sup> regiment in the Luhansk and Mariupol sectors,\u201d said the spokesman.<\/p>\n

According to the Chief Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (CID MDU), a mobile reconnaissance system PRP-4A Argus was found near Huselshchykove village, north of Novoazovsk; another EW system, Infauna signals intelligence system, was observed in the vicinity of the Donetsk airport. \u201cIt is the newest Russian military equipment put into service of the Russian army in the last 5-7 years. It is yet another evidence of systematic supply of weapons and military equipment for militants from Russia,\u201d said Col. Lysenko.<\/p>\n

Moreover, CID MDU informs that Russian propagandists from the center of informational confrontation located in Novocherkask prepared a system provocations plan \u201cThe 1st<\/sup> of September\u201d aimed at accusing ATO troops of violations of the Minsk agreements and international human rights. \u201cHaving obtained the agreement of their command, occupants from so-called 9th<\/sup> regiment plan to conduct fire demonstration imitation shooting at schools and school buses on the temporarily occupied territory in Novoazovsk district. It will be filmed by Russian propaganda TV-channels and may be broadcasted in the next few days to discredit Ukrainian troops,\u201d said Col. Lysenko.<\/p>\n
