One Ukrainian soldier was killed and another three were wounded in the Donbas conflict zone in the last 24 hours, presidential administration spokesman for the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) Colonel Andriy Lysenko said at a briefing in Kyiv on Wednesday, according to an UNIAN correspondent.
"In the last day, we lost one Ukrainian soldier, and another three were injured as a result of military clashes," Lysenko said.
As UNIAN reported earlier, a group of 20 terrorists approached a Ukrainian fortified position near the town of Avdiyivka in Donbas and started firing on the ATO forces at 19:10 Kyiv time on Tuesday. The Ukrainian military immediately opened fire in response. The battle lasted about 20 minutes, after which the militants were forced to retreat with their wounded and dead.
