According to intelligence, the Joint Forces Operation Command is preparing a series of provocations aimed at destabilizing the situation in Donbass, followed by accusing the People’s Republics of violating the Minsk Agreements. Official representative of the DPR PMD Dmitry Astrakhan reported details at the briefing in Donetsk on March 10.
“As we have got to know, three quadrocopter-type drones, received from volunteer organizations, have been transferred to the 59th brigade for carrying out reconnaissance and targeted shelling, including with 120mm and 82mm mortars, and sniper fire.
In addition to that, the brigade commander has been instructed by the Commander of the Sever Operational Tactical Group to hamper the OSCE Mission’s operation when its patrols move into the unit’s responsibility zone.
Our reconnaissance notes that the yesterday’s shelling of Zaitsevo from the direction of the 59th brigade was adjusted with UAVs. As proof of that, air defense duty shifts struck a Maviс-type enemy UAV in the indicated area.
In order to promptly respond to enemy actions, as well as to exclude the use of drones, duty shifts of electronic warfare and air defense units of the Mantiya-ARP Republic’s Facilities Unified Integrated Protection System have been put into an enhanced operation mode,” the official representative of the DPR PMD said.
