DPR fixed 2 violations of ceasefire by Kiev military

The Ukrainian forces have shelled the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) two times over the past 24 hours, the DPR defense ministry reported on Thursday.

“The situation in the Donetsk people’s republic was tense over the past 24 hours. The Ukrainian criminals have two times violated the ceasefire regime,” the Donetsk news agency quotes a DPR defense official as saying.

According to the ministry, Donetsk airport has been shelled from a 82-mm caliber mortar. And a grenade launcher fire was opened on the settlement of the mine 6/7 from Mayorsk on the outskirts of Gorlovka.
Gorlovka city administration head Roman Khramenkov said earlier on Thursday that a dwelling house was damaged in the northern part of the city as a result of the night shelling by the Ukrainian military.

Kiev and representatives of the republics of Donetsk and Lugansk agreed at talks in Minsk, Belarus, on August 26 to end shelling from September 1, the day the new school year was to begin. The ceasefire has been generally observed since then. There has been only one crude violation of the truce when late at night on September 4, the village of Alexandrovka, in Donetsk’s Petrovsk district, came under shelling which killed one civilian and injured two others. In addition, one civilian was wounded as the Ukrainian forces opened fire on the city’s Petrovsk district on September 30.
