26.07.2021, Donetsk.

The Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) suppressed the activity of Ukrainian militants, who shelled the outskirts of Donetsk, the DPR People’s Militia said on July 26, the REGNUM news agency informed.

The enemy fired a total of 32 mortar shells and grenades. On the Donetsk direction, the enemy used small arms fire, while on the Gorlovka direction, the Ukrainian military used 120mm and 82mm mortars and recoilless anti-tank guns. The enemy also violated the ceasefire four times on the Donetsk and Mariupol directions using 122mm artillery systems and recoilless anti-tank guns.

As a result of the shelling, the power line was damaged, which stopped ventilation at the Skochynsky mine, among other things. There were 30 miners underground at that moment. With the help of the reserve power supply, the work of the mine equipment was restored.

The units of the DPR People’s Militia retaliated and suppressed enemy fire activity using weapons not prohibited by the Minsk agreements. The return firing was carried out in accordance with point “e” of the additional ceasefire measures.

Losses on the Ukrainian side included three wounded. The Ukrainian army continues to block the work of the drones of the OSCE mission through the electronic suppression of the control channels of these drones. This is how the Ukrainian army is trying to conceal the facts of ceasefire violations on their part.
