Ukraine has reported one enemy provocation on Monday, August 10, as Russia's hybrid military forces violated the newly-agreed truce in Donbas, eastern Ukraine.

"One enemy provocation with the use of rifles was recorded near the town of Krasnohorivka. An isolated random shot posed no threat to life and health, so our soldiers did not return fire," the press center of Ukraine's Joint Forces Operation (JFO) said in a Facebook update as of 07:00 Kyiv time on August 11, 2020.
