• In the locality of Makeevka, as a result of the artillery shelling, there were damaged houses in the Dnepropetrovskaya St, 9 and 11.

As a result of the enemy fire, there was also damage to a power substation feeding the Zasyadko mine, due to which 203 miners were trapped underground. At the moment, the forces of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic carried out the evacuation of the miners.

In the southern direction, the enemy did not deprive the locality of Kominternovo of their ‘attention ‘ either. in particular, as a result of a bombardment, there were destroyed three houses in the Korolyova St by a direct hit, and another eight houses were partially damaged.

As a result of the evening shelling by the Nazi Ukraine Units (AFU),  there were wounded three civilians. In addition, yesterday in the afternoon, the Nazi criminals bombed and killed two civilians and injured another three. The information on the casualties is still being clarified.

The DPR army losses over the past day amounted to four soldiers killed and seven wounded.

Our intelligence continues to record the strengthening of the AFU positions near the contact line.

In particular, in the locality of Berestki (21 km away from the contact line), there were detected three MLRS «Uragan» ready to be used on the territory of the DPR.

Yesterday, after receiving the confirmation of their request for compliance with the ceasefire from our side after 20 pm, the enemy began shelling with heavy artillery the localities of Donetsk and Makeevka. Then, they launched an attack in the area of ​​the Avdeevka industrial zone by two platoons, trying to seize our positions and take control of the road between the cities of Donetsk and Gorlovka. Our units were forced to open return fire. When advancing, the enemy attacking forces entered minefields. The enemy suffered massive losses and retreated. According to our data, in yesterday’s attack the enemy lost over 15 soldiers killed and 30 wounded.

Today, at 4 am, after the artillery barrage, the enemy tried again to take control of the road between the cities of Donetsk and Gorlovka, having launched attacks in the area of ​​the Avdeevka industrial zone by up to three platoons. Due to this fact, the DPR army was forced to open return fire, to hold out the aggressor. According to our data, as a result of the failed morning attempt to attack our positions, the Junta Armed Forces of Ukraine and the criminals  of the «Right sector» lost over 15 men killed and 30 wounded.

Currently, the DPR Armed Forces have unilaterally ceased return of fire and remain in full compliance with the ‘regime of silence’  to ensure the safety of repair crews restoring the power lines damaged by the Nazi Ukraine Units (AFU) shelling that has left without electricity the Kievsky district of Donetsk and the town of Avdeevka. 

We will continue to observe the ceasefire, provided that the Nazi Ukrainian side stops shelling the territory of the DPR.

It is important to note that the Ukrainian Junta  authorities disrupted themselves the electricity supply, having disconnected the town of Avdeevka from the power supply in order to accuse us of a provocation, this was done by technical means.

Not having the opportunity to create an ecological disaster after the shelling of the Donetsk Filter Plant, the criminal authorities of Ukraine created a humanitarian disaster on the territories currently controlled by them, having cut power and now a power outage in the town under their control and accusing us of shelling. At the same time, our intelligence confirms the use of MLRS BS-21 «Grad” by the Nazi Ukrainian units on their own territories. This is also confirmed by mass panic posts of the AFU soldiers in social networks. Most likely, the shelling was coming from the positions of the «Right sector» radicals.

In addition, taking advantage of the situation in the area of the Avdeevka industrial zone, the enemy attempted a breakthrough in the Mariupol direction, with up to three platoons of the 36th separate Marine brigade of the AFU and radicals of the «Right sector», supported by three infantry fighting vehicles, having launched their attacks after the traditional shelling with heavy artillery. By skillful actions of our units, the enemy attacks were repelled, and the criminals retreated in panic. The losses of the AFU and the radical nationalists amounted to about 14 men killed, with the wounded counted in dozens.

Despite the complete cessation of fire by the DPR Armed Forces units, the Ukrainian criminals continue to violate the ‘regime of silence’.  The artillery, mortars and MLPS on the AFU positions strike mainly on residential areas of the localities Donetsk, Makeevka, Yasinovataya, Kominternovo, Alexandrovka, Staromikhaylovka, Gorlovka, Krasny Partisan, Mikhaylovka, targeting and  shooting at civilians.

The DPR intelligence obtained a report of the Head of the Junta General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Muzhenko, about real losses of the Ukrainian Junta military on January 29 and 30, presented to the Coup Leader  of Ukraine and resulted in Poroshenko’s emergency return from Germany to the country. According to the materials at our disposal, currently in morgues and military medical facilities in Ukraine there are:

• 29 dead boxdies of the Ukrainian military in the morgue of Selidovo;
• 41 body of dead soldiers in the morgue of Krasnoarmeysk;
• 62 wounded soldiers in the 65th mobile military medical hospital in Chasov Yar;
• 8 dead and 14 wounded soldiers in the 66th mobile military medical hospital Novy Trud.

The real losses are hidden from the public, in order not to cause panic in the ranks of the Junta Armed Forces of Ukraine and among the population. We will make public this information so that the Coup Leader of Ukraine Poroshenko could personally look into the eyes of the mothers of the dead and injured soldiers and give them an explanation for the sake of what ambition he has destroyed so many people? What victory has been brought to him with over 70 soldiers sent to death? That is to justify such huge losses that Poltorak announced the alleged seizure of some ’10-meter piece of land’, but in reality, of the lost position.

Despite the aggravated situation, the DPR Armed Forces continue combat training. On the training grounds, there are carried out fire training with artillery ankd tank units. The command has noted a high level of proficiency of the DPR personnel. The results of this training were rated as “excellent”.

We will continue to improve our skills to protect our Motherland, Donbass.
