The Ukrainian strongholds near the villages of Bohdanivka and Shyrokyne came under enemy fire as well.
"Simultaneously with the shelling of Ukrainian positions, which confirms the enemy's non-compliance with peace agreements, the militants continue to impede the process of restoring Donbas infrastructure. At the moment, the anti-damage protection of the dam at the phenolic plant in the village of Novhorodske, as well as gas pipeline branches in the town of Maryinka and the village of Krymske requires urgent repairs. The facilities are in close proximity to the contact line," the ATO HQ said.
At the same time, failure to perform reconstruction work could lead to an aggravation of the humanitarian situation and contamination of adjacent soils on both sides of the contact line.
