Russian troops continue rotating and strengthening their forces in Donbas, where seven militants have been killed and another five injured in Donbas conflict zone in the past 24 hours, the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine's Defense Ministry has said.

"There were seven killed in action (KIA) and five wounded in action (WIA) among the Russian-backed militants during the day. These are soldiers of the 11th separate motorized rifle regiment (Makiyivka), the 1st (Komsomolske), the 3rd (Horlivka) and the 5th (Makiyivka) separate motorized rifle brigades of the 1st Army Corps (Donetsk) of the Russian Armed Forces," the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine's Defense Ministry wrote on Facebook.

Notably, the casualties in the 5th separate motorized infantry brigade of the 1st Army Corps of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were a result of an explosion of ammunition of the self-propelled artillery system, which killed three and wounded one soldier.

In the report of Ukrainian intelligence there is also one of the cases of complaint of the local population by the actions of the Russian military men.

On August 21, a few servicemen of the sixth squadron of the second Rifle Battalion of the sixth separate motorized rifle regiment (Stakhaniv) – a driver, a grenade launcher and machine gunner deserted their advanced positions with arms and, being in a state of extreme intoxication, drove a car into a private house at high speed, resulting in destruction of almost half of the house.

"Outraged local residents injured the drunken "liberators" and tried to use the seized bazooka to destroy their vehicle," the statement says.
