Rebellen vallen 26 maal aan, 3 soldaten gewond

Drie Oekraïense soldaten zijn gisteren gewond geraakt bij aanvallen van de pro-Russische rebellen op het leger. Ook drie rebellen zouden gewond zijn geraakt. De rebellen voerden 26 aanvallen uit, waarbij ze er in de omgeving van de door hen bezette stad Horlivka op uit waren om de legerposities daar te verzwakken. In de provincie Donetsk voerden de rebellen provocaties uit nabij de stad Avdiivka en het dorp Piski.

De situatie in de omgeving van de havenstad Marioepol blijft gespannen rond Starohnativka, Tsjermalik, Talakivka en Vodiane. Het leger reageert hier op vijandelijk vuur van artilleriegeschut, mortieren en pantserwagens.

De separatisten in Donetsk spreken van zes aanvallen van het Oekraïense leger op hun posities bij Horlivka, Sjirokaja Balka en de kolenmijn Gagarin, Belaja Kamenka en Novolaspa. Uit Loehansk komt een melding van twee aanvallen, op de buurtschappen Zelenaja Rostsja en Donetski.
