For the last twenty-four hours the militants had violated ceasefire rules in the counter-terror operation area for eight times, information center of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) reported.

The terrorists shelled armored vehicles of the military operation's forces by the antitank missile system in the village of Shyshkove, five kilometers away from Luhansk, spokesman of the NSDC info center Andriy Lysenko said in a briefing.

"One of the missiles hit the tank, but the active protection went off and that's why the tank hasn't been damaged," he said.

The ceasefire expires at 2200 p.m. Kyiv time on June 30.
