Artillery positions were uncovered west of Zhelannoye Pervoye village (18 km west of Donetsk – ed).

Deputy Defense Minister added that up to 40 tanks were uncovered in southern Novomikhaylovka (12 km south-west of Donetsk), howitzer artillery positions were spotted in Opytnoye township (Artemovsk suburb – ed.), up to a battalion (up to 500 people) of Ukrainian border guard personnel.

5 units of “Pion” self-propelled artillery guns were spotted in Dobropolye city (63 km north-west of Donetsk – ed.), a redeployment of a column of “Grad” multiple rocket launch systems, self-propelled artillery guns and howitzer artillery from Krasnoarmeysk, Selidovo and nearby villages to south-eastern direction. 12 self-propelled artillery guns have arrived to the north-eastern outskirt of Donskoye village (48 km of Donetsk – ed.), 6 self-propelled artillery guns were spotted assuming firing positions 3 km away from Maloignatyevka.
