22 militants' attacks on Ukrainian troops in Donbas in past day

Their attacks included the use of heavy arms that were to be withdrawn under the Minsk agreements on ceasefire. They shelled the Ukrainian forces using mortars, infantry weapons, artillery systems, anti-aircraft guns, grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, and small arms. Most attacks are reported near the strategic government-controlled seaport Mariupol close to the border with Russia, and in the vicinity of separatist-held Donetsk. More attacks took place around the militant-controlled Luhansk. One Ukrainian soldier was killed and six were wounded in the hostilities over the past day.
