Schade aan zes huizen Avdiivka door beschieting

Zes woningen aan de rand van de stad Avdiivka zijn gisteren beschadigd bij beschietingen door de pro-Russische rebellen. Van één woning is het dak ingestort. Niemand raakte overigens gewond. Wel raakte een Oekraïense soldaat elders gewond bij een aanval van de rebellen. In totaal voerden die gisteren 32 aanvallen uit op posities van het Oekraïense leger.

Van een staakt-het-vuren vanwege Pasen was evenwel geen sprake, want ook op paaszondag werden 22 aanvallen geregistreerd. Daarbij raakten twee soldaten gewond.

Zowel zondag als gisteren werden de soldaten bij Avdiivka door de rebellen onder vuur genomen. Ook de verdedigers van de kolenmijn Boetivka kregen het weer zwaar te verduren, terwijl in de omgeving van de havenstad Marioepol aanvallen werden uitgevoerd op legerposities bij de dorpen Pavlopil en Vodiane. In de doorgaans veel rustiger provincie Loehansk waren er beide dagen aanvallen op legerposities bij het dorp Novo-Oleksandrivka.
