Russian-backed militants started shelling the town of Horlivka on Wednesday evening, using Grad multiple rocket launchers, according to the Anti-Terrorist Operation press center.
"At the moment, the terrorists are now firing Grad missiles at Horlivka from the village of Spartak [both Horlivka and Spartak are now controlled by the militants themselves]. They've fired 20 missiles already. Thus, the militants [by shelling the areas they control] are trying to bring the Ukrainian armed forces into discredit," the ATO press center wrote on Facebook about an hour ago.
The ATO Headquarters earlier reported about 23 attacks on Ukrainian troops on Wednesday.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Viktor Muzhenko issued an order forbidding the Ukrainian military to open fire in the ATO zone from midnight on November 25.
