In addition, the illegal armed formations had been firing small arms near the village of Stanytsia Luhanska for a short period of time," the report says.

In the Donetsk direction, the enemy became more active in the Mariupol sector. "In the afternoon, the Ukrainian defenders spotted an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group near the village of Shyrokyne that was moving toward the Ukrainian positions. When the distance became critically close, the Ukrainian military opened fire from small arms and forced the saboteurs to retreat. However, the enemy left one wounded on the battlefield," the press center said.
