Three Ukrainian servicemen injured in Donbas over past day

None of the Ukrainian servicemen deployed in the army operation zone in Donbas have been killed, yet three servicemen have suffered injuries over the past day, Ukrainian Presidential Administration spokesman for military issues, Oleksandr Motuzyanyk, said.

"None of our servicemen were killed, but three were injured over the past day. One soldier suffered injuries in the explosion of the enemy's pull-action mine in Kamyanka, one was hurt in Krasnohorivka, and another one in Maryinka in shelling incidents," he said at a press briefing in Kyiv, on Tuesday.

All was quiet in the Luhansk sector, Motuzyanyk said.

The truce in the Zaitseve-Mayorsk sector of the Donetsk area was not breached for the first time in months. Yet a series of provocations were staged on the Svitlodarsk bulge, the Kyiv representative said.

In his words, the militants used mortars seven times in Pisky and Krasnohorivka. In total, 35 armed provocations were observed in the Donetsk sector over the past day.

The enemy breached the truce near Maryinka and Hnutove in the Mariupol area: 82mm mortars were used once, and snipers were active twice, Motuzyanyk said. In total, 19 militants' attacks were observed in that area, he added.
