"The shelling is continuing near the Donetsk airport. The invaders systematically fire on the Ukrainian defenders near the villages of Opytne, Pisky, and south of the town of Avdiyivka. That night, they used only small arms and rocket-propelled grenades there," the report reads.

In addition, it is reported that the organized criminal groups again violated the ceasefire in Luhansk region. The village of Triokhizbenka came under enemy fire from small arms, rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machine guns.

In order to prevent casualties among the personnel and the local population, the ATO forces were forced to open fire from allowed weapons, after which the militants stopped firing.

In general, the pro-Russian illegal military formations violated the ceasefire 40 times in the Donbas conflict zone in the past 24 hours. After midnight, the enemy has already attacked ATO forces several times.
