In Mariupol sector militants started an intense hour-long attack at Ukrainian troops’ positions near Krasnohorivka using various mortars and 122-mm artillery around 01:30. “Two subversive reconnaissance groups of 15-20 people supported by artillery and mortar fire and four tanks attacked our frontline position around 04:00. Having detected the hostile team, Ukrainian troops responded with fire. The enemy faced massive fire and was compelled to retreat,” informed Col. Lysenko. At the same time, Russian proxies opened fire from tanks, mortars and Grad-P rocket launchers to cover their retreat. The density of hostile fire from heavy armor somewhat reduced by 06:00.

The enemy was shooting from light weapons in Luhanske, Novhorodske and near Avdiivka during the night,” said Col. Lysenko. Russian proxies mortar shelled Avdiivka four times between 18:00 and 23:00, firing about 50 rounds. Militants also employed mortars in their attack on Shakhta Butovka position.
