Ukrainian army claims 49 attacks on its positions in Donbas
Ukrainian army positions in Donbas have been attacked 49 times in the past 24 hours, the press center of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) headquarters wrote on Facebook.
"ATO positions did not change despite the tactics of simultaneous use of weapons of all calibers and higher intensity of gunfire in some frontline sectors. Militants attacked 49 times during the last 24 hours," the report said.
Ukrainian positions near the villages of Opytne and Pisky, which are near the ruined Donetsk airport, came under seven attacks by use of 82mm and 120mm mortars.
"The simultaneous use of 122mm artillery weapons made the hostile attacks on our positions even more complex," the report said.
The town of Avdiyivka in the Donetsk sector came under mortar fire seven times over the period under review.
The press center also reported mortar attacks in the Mariupol sector, namely in the villages of Shyrokyne, Pavlopillia, Talakivka and Hnutove.
