In the evening, Russian-backed groups somewhat reduced the intensity of shelling our positions, but there was no complete observance of the ceasefire regime along the disengagement line ... The invaders violated the ceasefire regime ten times over the past day. The ATO forces used infantry weapons seven times to defeat the enemy," the ATO staff said on Facebook on Tuesday morning.

In the Donetsk sector, the militants used anti-tank grenade launchers against the Ukrainian fortified positions near the town of Avdiyivka and the village of Pisky at the end of the day," the report says.

"In the Mariupol sector, at about 21:00 Kyiv time, the enemy started firing a heavy machine gun near the village of Starohnativka. The Ukrainian military fired back and stopped the provocation. Unfortunately, one Ukrainian soldier was wounded in that fighting. Now he is in a hospital, his state of health is satisfactory.

The Russian-backed mercenaries launched six 120mm mines on the Ukrainian positions near the village of Triokhizbenka, which is in the Luhansk sector.
