No Ukrainian servicemen were killed but one soldier suffered injuries in the Donbas hostilities zone in the past 24 hours, Ukrainian Presidential Administration spokesman for the anti-terrorist operation issues Andriy Lysenko said.

"No Ukrainian servicemen were killed but one was injured in the hostilities over the past day. That happened during an attack in Pisky," he told a press briefing in Kyiv on Wednesday.

Practically all positions of the Ukrainian army and populated localities close to the frontline came under attack in the Donetsk sector in the past 24 hours, Lysenko said. In all, 24 shelling incidents, including 14 by use of heavy weapons, were observed in the Donetsk area over the past day.

In the Mariupol sector, hostilities focused on the south (the Hnutove-Shyrokyne front), Lysenko said, adding that Shyrokyne had seen several mortar attacks and bombardments by 152mm artillery. The hostiles also used mortars against Taramchuk, Talakivka, Vodiane and Lebedynske. The conflicting sides engaged in over ten shootouts in Maryinka and Shyrokyne. In all, 25 shelling incidents, including eight by use of heavy armaments, were seen in the Mariupol sector over the past day.
