The situation escalated in Donetsk sector,\u00a0where militants conducted 20 attacks using heavy weapons seven times. “Militants repeatedly used heavy armor, mostly near Avdiivka and north of Horlivka. The enemy was actively shelling Avdiivka and Shakhta Butovka position with tank weapons and mortars of various calibers from 17:00 to 21:00. During this time militants fired at positions of Ukrainian Armed Forces almost 60 rounds,” said the spokesman.<\/p>\n

Two residential buildings in Avdiivka were damaged by militants’ mortar attacks.\u00a0 Thankfully, no civilians were injured. “Moreover, militants\u2019 shells damaged power line, resulting in five adjacent villages being cut off electricity supply. Power and water supply was not interrupted in Avdiivka itself,” said Col. Lysenko. Militants conducted three mortar attacks near Verkhniotoretske and one more near Luhanske, employing armored personnel carriers in both incidents. In Troitske, Horlivka perimeter and near the Donetsk airport militants repeatedly provoked Ukrainian troops with small arms and grenade launchers fire.<\/p>\n

In Mariupol sector militants used mortars three times yesterday – twice in Maryinka in the morning and in Krasnohorivka in the afternoon. They continued conducting armed provocations with light weapons,\u00a0mostly in Pavlopil – Shyrokyne frontline. Militants’ sniping teams opened fire in the near Lebedynske. Moreover, Russia-backed militant groups were shooting from APC weapons near Vodiane and Shyrokyne. \u00a0“23 hostile attacks took place in Mariupol sector yesterday, and three of them involved mortars,” added the spokesman.<\/p>\n
