Russian-backed militants have launched 12 attacks on positions of Ukrainian troops in the Joint Forces Operation (JFO) area in Donbas in last day, without using heavy weapons, the press centre of the JFO has reported.

"The invaders opened fire on the positions of our troops 12 times. The enemy didn't use the weapons prohibited by Minsk agreements. Russian occupation forces fired aimed fire from grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small arms. No casualties have been recorded among our troops," the press center of JFO said in its update on Facebook on Friday morning.

The enemy continued attacking Ukrainian positions near Krymske, Novotoshkivske, Luhanske, Mayorske, Shumy, Pisky, Pavlopil, Lybidinske, and Vodiane.

But the invaders have significantly reduced the number of attacks, although they did not halt them completely amid the 'school' ceasefire. The units of the Joint Forces adhere to their ceasefire commitments.

"Today the enemy launched one attack on our positions near Hnutove using grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, and small arms. There were no casualties among our defenders," the press center said.
