The Ukrainian armed forces opened fire in response to firing by militants on the village of Shyrokyne by Russian-backed militants. The militants fired heavy artillery, tanks, mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and small arms throughout the day, starting from 0700.
"The militants also applied new artillery shells that were first used over the village of Shyrokyne a few days ago. A shell explodes in about 40 meters above the ground and [spreads] small fragments [of shrapnel]," the report says.
