"The shots did not pose a threat to our servicemen, therefore, the Ukrainian soldiers did not use weapons in response to the acts of provocation by the enemy. There were no combat losses or injuries among Joint Forces personnel," the report said.

Since the beginning of Saturday, November 7, no violation of the ceasefire has been recorded, the ceasefire is being observed along the entire contact line.

The situation is under full control of the Ukrainian military.

The Joint Forces were abiding by the ceasefire, being ready to adequately respond to possible attacks by the adversary, the JFO HQ said.
