Ukrainian army positions in Donbas have come under seven attacks in the past 24 hours; one serviceman was killed during those attacks, two more died in the line of their mission, and five sustained combat traumas, the headquarters of the Ukrainian anti-terrorist operation in Donbas said on Facebook on Thursday.

"The Ukrainian servicemen twice had to return fire, using weapons not prohibited by the Minsk Agreements," the headquarters said.

According to the ATO headquarters, the enemy keeps breaching the truce established for the period of New Year and Christmas holidays, marring the agreements reached at the Trilateral Contact Group, and using weapons banned by the Minsk Agreements to attack Ukrainian army positions.
