Last week the Special Monitoring Mission recorded 250% increase in artillery explosions, prohibited by the Minsk Agreements, and 12-fold increase in mortar explosions.
"40% of all SMM-recorded ceasefire violations caused by heavy weapons occurred in west Luhansk region, including most of the mortar shelling", Hug stated.
