Over the past day, the occupying forces have shelled the areas of SIXTEEN settlements of the Republic. The fire was conducted along the entire contact line.
In the Gorlovka direction, the war criminals Tatus and Drapaty, commanding the units of the 58th mechmotorizednized infantry and 72nd motorized brigades of the AFU, shelled the settlements of Zaytsevo, Verkhnetoretskoye, Golmovsky and the GAGARIN mine with artillery, grenade launchers, large-caliber and small arms.
In the Donetsk direction, the war criminals Kokarev, Ivanov and Marchenko gave orders to units of the 92nd, 56th, 28th brigades of the AFU to open fire from the IFV weapons, grenade cups and small arms on the areas of the settlements of YASINOVATNAYA, YAKOVLEVKA, SPARTAK, Dokuchaevsk and the Donetsk airport area.
In the Mariupol direction, from the positions of the 36th Marine brigade, on the orders of its commander, the war criminal Gnatov, the bombardments were inflicted on KOMINTERNOVO, SAKHANKA, LENINSKOYE, BEZYMENENNOYE, ZAZYNENKI, NOVALASPA and NEW TAVRIA. In this area, the terrorists used 120 and 82 mm mortars, launching over 80 shells, the IFV weapons, grenade launchers, large-caliber and small arms. As a result of the enemy bombardment of the settlement of SAKHANKA, a man born in 1958 was wounded, and a house in Gavrilenko Street was damaged.
In total, for the past day, twenty-five violations of the cease-fire regime by the enemy were recorded.
The Ukrainian authorities do not abandon attempts to seize our territory by force, despite the agreements reached in Minsk. Over the past day, we identified increased air reconnaissance of the enemy in the zone of responsibility of the 58th motorized infantry brigade. The DPR air defense forces could not leave this fact without reaction, as a result of coordinated actions of our units, the AFU have lost another aircraft of the type - a quadrocopter. Its wreckage is 500 m from the enemy's observation post in the vicinity of the settlement of NOVGORODSKOYE. At 2 am, an enemy reconnaissance group of 2 men attempted to evacuate the UAV debris. However, advancing toward the drone, 200 meters away from the site of its fall, they were blown up on their own mines. According to the report of the commander of the 13th motorized infantry battalion to the headquarters of the 58th brigade, an explosion occurred on thir own mine, PMN-2, which the AFU allegedly don not have in service.
One of the servicemen died on the spot, the other was more fortunate - Vladimir Yuryevich BOGOYAN, born on 09.09.1989, was delivered to the hospital with the fore parts of his left foot torn off and shrapnel wounds of the upper and lower limbs.
The Ukrainian military, abandoned by the command to "feed themselves", are engaged in the sale of weapons and ammunition. Particularly successful in this fishery are the servicemen of the 16th battalion of the 58th brigade, stationed in the settlement of NOVGORODSKOYE. In the last month alone, these "heroes" sent three full trucks in the direction of KONSTANTINOVKA under cover of night. After that, according to a proven scheme on the eve of the inventory, they set fire to the RAW warehouse.
Thus, theft and neglect of duty in the AFU ranks becomes a natural state of the valiant Ukrainian army seeking to find its place in the North Atlantic alliance.
