In Donetsk sector, the adversary opened fire from grenade launchers near Vodiane twice. Ukrainian soldiers were also attacked with heavy machine guns near Novomykhailivka and in Avdiivka industrial zone.
In Mariupol sector, at around 12 pm, the militants opened fire from a grenade launcher, a heavy machine gun and small arms near Verkhnotoretske. Two Ukrainian soldiers were wounded in this attack.
The HQ noted that the Ukrainian soldiers opened return fire to a bigger half of the attacks, as they have a right to use arms, if a direct threat to their lives exists.
