In the Donetsk sector, 33 ceasefire violations were recorded, 17 of which involved the use of heavy armaments. “Only in Avdiivka and the vicinities Russian occupational troops fired over 30 tank projectiles, around 60 mortar shells, and were widely using small arms and grenade launchers yesterday,” reported the spokesman of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on ATO related issues Colonel Andriy Lysenko during a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center. Militants conducted three mortar attacks near the Donetsk airport, and shelled Ukrainian positions at the Svitlodarsk area.”Russia-backed militants attacked Zaitseve with artillery and mortars after 23:00, firing around 10 mortar shells and 20 artillery projectiles, directly hitting a private house, damaging windows, fence and almost totally ruining a household building,” said Col.
