Frontline fighting in the vicinity of Avdiivka continued non-stop yesterday. Militants are massively using mortars, cannons and Grad multiple rocket launchers. The number of projectiles launched from heavy weapons at Avdiivka and Ukrainian flank positions reached 2000. Yesterday around 10 p.m. militants conducted an atrocious attack at Avdiivka, hitting a school stadium with a tent camp and a warming center with aimed fire. \u00a0\u201cThis object is situated 5 km from the frontline, on the western outskirts of the town. This blatant violation of the laws and customs of war, or military crime in other words, also resulted in casualties,\u201d said the spokesman.<\/p>\n

Militants continue attacking Butovka coal mine position, Opytne and Pisky. \u201cSpartak and Donetsk airport are swarming with hostile mortar crews, cannons, tanks and Grad MRLS that are taking turns to shell Ukrainian troops day and night. Our soldiers respond with fire,\u201d said Col. Motuzyanyk. Militants are active at the Svitlodarsk bulge and near Horlivka where their artillery is deployed.<\/p>\n

The number of Russian proxies\u2019 attacks increased drastically from 35 to 72 incidents in the Mariupol sector. \u201cThe enemy launched full service charge from Grad MRLS at Starohnativka and Novohryhorivka. Occupants organized intense artillery attacks in Hranitne, Chermalyk and Hnutove, and were shooting from Grad-P MRLS in Shyrokyne. Moreover, Russia-backed militant troops are massively using mortar launchers, armor and light weapons,\u201d said the spokesman.<\/p>\n

Militants continue shelling towns in Mariinka district. A woman sustained shrapnel wounds in Mariinka, and four houses were damaged in shooting attack. The town has been cut off the electricity supply. Moreover, two border guard modules were damaged at a checkpoint.<\/p>\n

In the Luhansk sector militants\u2019 attacks are the most intense in Popasna district. Hostilities started after 10 a.m. and continued till late night. Militants were using mortar launchers and artillery launching at least 50 shells at Ukrainian positions. \u201cMoreover, Russian proxies conducted mortar attacks in Syze (Stanytsia Luhanska district) and Krymske (Novyi Aidar district). In total, 15 hostile attacks took place in the Luhansk sector yesterday, and eight of them involved use of heavy armor,\u201d added Col. Motuzyanyk.<\/p>\n
