The DPR returned fire to the enemy’s military base – the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered losses
A Ukrainian group in the Donbass shelled the DPR-controlled settlement of Mineralnoye, firing a total of 30 mines with a 120 mm caliber. The Donbass defenders were forced to return fire on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Avdiivka, and the Ukrainians suffered significant losses.
“In order to prevent further shelling, as well as in view of the danger posed by the explosions of Ukrainian mines to the life and health of civilians, units of the People’s Militia ... were forced to return fire to suppress enemy fire activity,” the DPR defense department said, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports "
The Ukrainian side, traditionally keeping silent about the attack on the DPR, admits its losses - the attack hit the base of the 25th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“Nine Ukrainian servicemen were wounded or received combat injuries,” the Telegram channel of the Ukrainian delegation to the TCG reported.
Photos from the scene were published by Yuriy Butusov, head of the Ukrainian website “Censor.net”, close to ex-Secretary of the Security Council Alexander Turchinov.
“Two cars and one truck were destroyed. Three trucks received minor damage,” the propagandist wrote.
