Donbas update: Invaders open fire six times on Dec 10

Over the past 24 hours, on December 10, Ukrainian military recorded six ceasefire violations by the Russian occupation forces, including two where the invaders employed weapons proscribed by the Minsk agreements on Donbas settlement.

That’s according to the press service of the Joint Forces Operation HQ, Ukrinform reports.

"Near the settlement of Pishchane, Luhansk region, the enemy fired 82-mm mortars. In the direction of Novotoshkivske, the occupiers opened fire using grenade launchers and small arms. Toward Popasna, Russian mercenaries engaged our positions with grenade launchers of various systems and large-caliber machine guns,” the report said.

Also, enemy troops used anti-tank grenade launchers near Mayorske. In Pivdenne, the occupiers fired 82-mm mortars and anti-tank grenade launchers.

“Not far from Novo-oleksandrivka, the enemy employed anti-tank grenade launchers and large-caliber machine guns,” the statement said.

Ukrainian forces reported no casualties over the past day.

It is noted that Ukrainian defenders opened fire, using arms that are not banned under the Minsk accords, and eventually forced the enemy to cease attacks.

As of 7:00 Kyiv time on December 11, Ukraine reported no new ceasefire violations by the Russian occupation forces.

"The servicemen with the Joint Forces are monitoring the situation and continue to fulfill their tasks to repel and deter Russia’s armed aggression," the report concludes.
