Two servicemen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who were presumed dead during a military clash with the enemy near Krymske on November 24, have returned to their units, the press center of the anti-terrorist operation (ATO) headquarters has reported.

"In general, 17 ceasefire violations by militants have been recorded along the entire contact line over the past day. In more than half of cases the servicemen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces gave the enemy an adequate response," the press center reported on its Facebook page on Saturday.

In the Luhansk sector, illegal armed groups violated the Minsk agreements at the Svitlodarsk Bulge in the evening. Ukrainian fortified positions near Novoluhanske came under 120mm mortar fire. Illegal armed groups also repeatedly fired at the defenders of Luhanske from mortars, grenade launchers, IFV weapons and small arms. Several times the enemy opened fire on the positions of Ukrainian soldiers near Lozove.

In the Donetsk sector, militants fired at the defenders of Pisky from 82mm mortars, the defenders of Avdiyivka and Butivka mine from large-caliber machine guns and small arms, and they also used grenade launchers and IFV weapons on the outskirts of Berezove.

"Despite the fact that the enemy continues to fire at our positions, the situation is under full control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces," reads the report.

As a result of enemy attacks, there have bene no losses among Ukrainian fighters over the past 24 hours.
