The Ukrainian side perseveres in its attempts to destabilize the situation by targeting the civil infrastructure, despite the fact that Deputy Chief Monitor of the OSCE SMM to Ukraine Mark Etherington is staying in Donbass.
Militants of the 57th brigade were firing at Spartak with 120mm mortars for 30 minutes, having fired 21 shells. A gas pipeline caught fire as a result of the shelling. Emergency services of the Republic managed to put out the fire only an hour later due to the ongoing attack.
More information about civilian casualties and damage to the civil infrastructure caused by enemy shelling is being specified.
Materials on the case of shelling will be sent to representatives of international organizations stationed in the Republic, as well as to the DPR Prosecutor General’s Office for attaching to criminal cases against AFU brigade commander Mishanchuk.
We call on the OSCE Mission to register the ceasefire violation and make the military-political leadership of Ukraine stop conducting provocative actions at the line of combat contact.
