For the past day, there have been recorded TWENTY-FOUR violations of the cease-fire by the enemy who has shelled the areas of THIRTEEN settlements.
In the Gorlovka direction, from the positions of the 72nd motorized and 58th motorized infantry brigades, under the command of the war criminals TATUS and DRAPATOV respectively, the enemy attacked the areas of the settlements of ZAYTSEVO and the Gagarin mine in GORLOVKA city with grenade launchers, large-caliber machine guns and small arms.
In the Donetsk direction, the military of the 92nd and 28th motorized brigades, under the command of KOKOREV and MARCHENKO respectively, as well as the 56th motorized infantry brigade, commanded by Ivanov, used grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small arms on the areas of the settlements of SPARTAK, TRUDOVSKIYE, STAROMIKHAYLOVKA, ALEXANDROVKA, STYLA, MINERALNOYE and airport area of DONETSK city.
In the Mariupol direction, the war criminals of the 36th Marine brigade, on the orders of Gnatov, launched over THIRTY 82 and 120 mm mortar shells on the areas of the settlements KOMINTERNOVO, LENINSKOYE, NOVAYA TAVRIA and OCTOBER, and also used weapons of infantry fighting vehicles, heavy machine guns and small arms.
As a result of the bombardments of the settlement of OCTOBER by the Ukrainian military, TWO houses and a gas pipe were damaged in the Kommunarov street, and FIVE houses and a power line in the ZVYOZDNAYA street, which resulted in the settlement completely de-energized. In KOMINTERNOVO, a house burned down in the Kirov street. In the settlement of TRUDOVSKIYE, TWO outbuildings and a fence burned down in the Red Star street.
We state the increase in the number of ceasefire violations and the density of attacks from the enemy in the Mariupol direction, in the area of responsibility of the 36th Marine brigade. This fact is connected with the withdrawal of the brigade from the UFO zone. Opening indiscriminate fire, the Ukrainian invaders are trying to increase the number of “combat” days in order to earn more money before leaving the zone of the occupying forces operation.
As a result of the attacks, such indiscriminate fire damages only civilian infrastructure and creates a threat to the lives of civilians, which once again confirms the true motives of the Ukrainian militants.
Despite the statements of the Ukrainian side about the observance of the Minsk agreements, the UFO command continues with their attempts to reveal our positions and subsequent provocations with sabotage and reconnaissance groups.
In particular, on October 15, the DPR People's Militia servicemen detected the enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group of SIX servicemen who was advancing from the positions of the 56th brigade in the settlement of AVDEEVKA in the direction of the settlement of YAKOVLEVKA. As a result of a clashes with the group, TWO servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine died, and ONE was wounded. There are no casualties in the DPR People’s Militia.
In the AFU units, the number of non-combat losses continues to increase.
In particular, on October 16, in the area of responsibility of the 28th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the settlement of MARYINKA, as a result of violation of safety requirements for servicing equipment, an infantry fighting vehicle rolled up from the overpass. As a result, TWO Ukrainian soldiers, privates Bilyk and Boyko, were run over, and ONE soldier, private Vakhrushev, received serious injuries.
In the settlement of NOVOSYOLOVKA VTORAYA, two soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, senior soldiers Linko and Mayorov, were injured as a result of a mine explosion in their own minefield.
According to the already established tradition, the UFO command will present these losses as received in mythical shelling by the DPR People's Militia.
