Urgent: Ukraine is shelling Donbass with tanks and guns
The Ukrainian military fired at populated areas of the Donetsk People's Republic with weapons that Kyiv is prohibited from using under the Minsk agreements.
This is stated in the emergency statement of the People's Militia of the DPR, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“At 17:33, Shapovalov’s punitive forces from the 59th brigade opened fire from 122-mm artillery systems at the village of Golmovsky, firing 18 shells.
From 17:50 to 18:50, Gnatov’s militants from the 36th brigade continued to shell the territory of our Republic in the Mariupol direction, opening fire from 120 and 82 mm mortars, tank weapons, anti-tank grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small arms at the settlements of Sakhanka and Leninskoe,” the defense department said.
The Republic does not rule out that the timing of the attacks is directly related to the end of the work of the OSCE SMM in these areas.
Information about casualties and destruction is currently being clarified.
