Kyiv says situation in Donbas military operation area improving

The intensity of shelling by the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics (DPR and LPR) has significantly lowered, and there have been only ten such incidents over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian presidential spokesman for the military operation in Donbas Andriy Lysenko said.

"The situation in the ATO [antiterrorist operation] zone significantly improved yesterday. Ten ceasefire violations by the enemy were recorded yesterday, all of them in the Donetsk sector. The shelling was mostly untargeted and usually lasted for up to 10 minutes," Lysenko said at a news conference in Kyiv on Saturday.

No Ukrainian armed forces servicemen have been killed, although five soldiers have been injured over the past 24 hours, Lysenko said.

"We have not lost any of our soldiers due to combat actions over the past 24 hours. At the same time, five Ukrainian military servicemen have sustained injuries by hitting explosive devices. This happened in Novhorodske and in Troitske, the Donetsk region," he said.
