The AFU persevere in their attempts to destabilize the situation at the contact line and they continue to step up their provocative attacks on the territory of the Republic for this purpose, an official representative of the DPR PMD stated.

“Today, on January 25, at 12:30 pm, Goncharuk’s militants from the 128th brigade engaged Yasnoye with IFV guns, heavy machine guns and small arms. As a result of the attack, two houses at 17 and 18 Pobedy Street are damaged.

Also, at 17:15, Marchenko’s militants from the 28th brigade engaged the village of Trudovskaya Mine with anti-tank grenade launchers and IFV guns. As a result of the attack, a separate house at 90 Levanevskogo Street is damaged.

Civilians had to hide in the basements of their houses. Those ceasefire violations have also been reported by the JCCC.

Information on the scale of destruction of the civil infrastructure and casualties among the civilian population is being specified.

Apparently, by attacking the civil infrastructure intentionally, Kravchenko and his henchmen decided to wish their supreme commander-in-chief a happy birthday.

We call on the OSCE SMM international monitors to put mind to the aggression of the Ukrainian armed formations against the Donetsk People’s Republic and make the Ukrainian leadership in the person of Zelensky implement the agreements reached in order to prevent another bloodshed in the long-suffering land of Donbass,” the DPR PMD’s representative said.
