In total, 29 militants’ attacks took place in the Luhansk sector, and 13 of them involved use of heavy armor. “Troitske incurred the\u00a0biggest number of attacks, as the enemy launched 10 mortar shells and 10 missiles at our positions there. Moreover, the adversary used mortar launchers in Luhanske, Novhorodske, Verkhniotoretske and the Avdiivka industrial area,” explained Col. Lysenko.
\nIn total, militants conducted nine attacks in the Donetsk sector, and five of them involved use of heavy armor.
\nOne Ukrainian serviceman died in combat yesterday and seven were wounded.
\nThe spokesman said that another batch of reinforcement came for militants from Russia. These were six tanks with combustible and lubrication materials and two railroad cars with unidentified freight. 12 units of armor came to Ilovaisk station and 11 tanks with combustible and lubrication materials arrived at Luhansk.
\nCol. Lysenko informed that a notorious militants’ commander, a Russian citizen Arsen Pavlov with nomme de guerre ‘Motorola’ died in Donetsk yesterday night as a result of a blast in an elevator of a residential building. “Pavlov did not occupy any high commander positions in militants\u2019 hierarchy,\u00a0as the command consists of Russian officers. He was mostly known as a “PR-militant” decorated with dozens of “awards”. It made common militants furious, as this war had brought them nothing but poverty and injuries,” said the spokesman. He reminded that ‘Motorola’ will be remembered for his inhuman cruelty and looting. He is responsible for a number of military crimes, namely murdering a defenseless Ukrainian prisoner, a Donetsk airport defender, the Hero of Ukraine Ihor Branovytskyi.<\/p>\n
