Two Ukrainian soldiers were wounded in the Donbas Anti-Terrorist operation (ATO) zone, Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesman Andriy Lysenko said.

"No Ukrainian servicemen died but two suffered injuries in the hostilities over the past day," Lysenko told a press briefing in Kyiv on Friday.

In the Luhansk sector, the hostiles conducted three attacks on Ukrainian army positions, he said. Two mortar attacks were observed east of Popasna, and a third attack employing an anti-aircraft gun was seen near the village of Lobacheve.

According to Lysenko, the hostiles fired ten mortar mines near the Donetsk airport area in the Donetsk sector, and Ukrainian army positions in Avdiyivka experienced a 90-minute attack using small arms and grenade launchers, he said.

In the Mariupol sector, the hostiles fired mortars in the Vodiane-Shyrokyne sector.
