In the past day, the enemy fired at our positions outside the settlements of Krymske, Luhanske, Svitlodarsk, Starohnativka, Chermalyk, Pavlopil, Hnutove, Vodiane, Lebedynske, and Shyrokyne. There are no casualties among the servicemen of the Joint Forces," the JFO HQ said in a report on its Facebook page early on Tuesday.

The enemy fired at the positions of the Joint Forces three times on Tuesday, with all ceasefire violations recorded in the Mariupol sector. The enemy attacked Ukrainian strongpoints near Lebedynske and Vodiane from heavy machine guns and small arms.
