“The following towns and villages were in the Ukrainian army’s shelling zone: Gorlovka (the settlement of Gagarin Mine, the settlement of the 6/7 Mine), Vesyoloye, Luganskoye, Petrovskoye, Zaichenko,” the report says.
During the shelling incidents against the DPR, 30 120-mm mortar shells we fired; once an 82-mm mortar was used (9 shells fired). Hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers and tripod-mounted anti-tank grenade launchers were used three times, and small arms were used once. No victims among civilians were reported.
The shelling by the Ukrainian military over the period resulted in a direct hit of the hall of the distribution department of the North Water Supply Facility of the Donetskvodokanal Production Directorate of the Water of Donbass State Unitary Enterprise.
