"There were five episodes of ceasefire violations by the illegal armed units. The hostiles opened small arms and grenade launcher fire in Pisky and Opytne yesterday. An armed provocation was staged in Shyrokyne," he said at a press briefing in Kyiv on Friday.

According to Lysenko, the militia opened random fire on Ukrainian positions in Shyrokyne.
