During the past 24 hours the enemy fired artillery and small arms at Gorlovka and Yasinovataya outskirts. As a whole, the situation at the frontline remains relatively calm.
After 18:00 the shelling of western and north-western districts of Gorlovka started. Ukrainian army fires mortars, automatic grenade launchers and small arms.
The part of the front in the area of Yasinovataya checkpoint remains to be one of the most dangerous ones. Every night the enemy shells DPR army’s positions, including by large-caliber artillery. Ukrainian army regularly attempts to conduct air recon by UAVs, which we witnessed ourselves today, having visited the forward positions in the area of Yasinovataya checkpoint.
During the past week Ukrainian army violated the ceasefire 424 times, which is approximately eight times less than before the most recent ceasefire. The enemy fired artillery systems 152 times.
DPR recon informed on the non-combat casualties in the Ukrainian army. Ukrainian Armed Forces lost 55 people of their personnel during the past week in the area of the punitive operation in Donbass.
