Russian-backed militants continue to conduct active counter-battery fire near the villages of Krymske and Triohizbenka near the Bakhmutka highway in Luhansk region, as well as near the villages of Shastya and Stanytsa Luhanska, head of the Information Resistance group Dmytro Tymchuk wrote on his Facebook page on Wednesday.
"Russian-backed militants have previously tried to break through the defense of the Ukrainian troops near the village of Stanytsia Luhanska, using the combination of a massive fire and the actions of small mobile groups of infantry, supported by the armored vehicles," Tymchuk said.
However, the militants are already avoiding active offensive operations, he said.
"At the moment, we have recorded that the militants again started to use the tactics of ambush and ‘wandering tanks’ supported by mortars. We have recorded at least two such groups, which are periodically launching attacks on the forward positions of the Ukrainian armed forces," he said.
