For the past day, there have been recorded SIXTEEN ceasefire violations by the enemy who has shelled the areas of the NINE settlements.
In the Gorlovka direction, from the 58th motorized infantry brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, under the command of the war criminal DRAPATOV, the Ukrainian military shelled the GAGARINA mine with anti-aircraft systems, weapons of infantry fighting vehicles, various types of grenade launchers and heavy machine guns.
In the Donetsk direction, in shelling the settlements of ZHABICHEVO, KRUTAYA BALKA, ALEXANDROVKA, YASINOVATAYA, VOLVO-CENTER and the area of the DONETSK airport, the militmilitarynts of the 28th motorized brigade, under the command of MARCHENKO, and also the 56th motorized infantry brigade, under the command of IVANOV, launched THIRTEEN 82 mm mortar shells, and also used weapons of infantry fighting vehicles, grenade launchers and large-caliber machine guns.
In the Mariupol direction, the war criminals of the 79th airborne brigade, commanded by the war criminal KURACH, shelled the settlements of LENINSKOYE and SAKHANKA, launching THIRTY-FIVE 120 mm and TWENTY 82 mm mortar shells. In addition, the enemy actively used grenade launchers and large-caliber machine guns.
The AFU command continues to violate the Minsk Agreement in terms of the use of unmanned aerial aircraft.
Over the past day, the DPR air defense forces on duty prevented another attempt to use a drone in the area of the settlement of KOMINTERNOVO. After an approaching UAV was detected, it was shot down and fell in the vicinity of the enemy’s positions. An explosion was recorded at the crash site, indicating the presence of explosive devices onboard the UAV. Most likely, the Ukrainian terrorists had planned dropping explosive devices on civilian and military objects. Owing to the skillful actions of our servicemen, we managed to prevent a tragedy.
We continue to receive information about the increasing cases of self-harm by the AFU servicemen in order to evade from serving in the UFO zone.
In particular, in the area of the settlement of KRASNOGOROVKA, in the area of responsibility of the 28th brigade, the senior soldier TIMCHAK, born in 1998, shot himself in his left hand. Traditionally, the command of the 28th brigade presented this fact as a wound during the DPR People's Militia attack.
The Ukrainian military continue to terrorize the civilian population of Donbass, due to which the level of social tension is growing in the territory controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In particular, in the settlement of KONSTANTINOVKA, a group of servicemen of the 90th battalion of the 81st brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in a state of intoxication, organized a pogrom in a grocery store. Feeling their impunity, the military were in no hurry to leave the store. The “guards” who arrived at the crime scene, used physical force, which sent the Ukrainian “heroes” in flight. However, one of them, the corporal KALTUN, did not manage to escape. He was caught and linched by local residents. As a result of the beating, the serviceman was hospitalized with a craniocerebral injury and various fractures.
