You're reading: OSCE patrol comes under fire in Donetsk region

London/Kyiv - Unidentified persons fired rocket-propelled grenade and multiple anti-aircraft rounds at an OSCE patrol in Donetsk region on Wednesday, Nov. 26, the BBC has reported.

The incident occurred at about noon, when a patrol of three monitors, escorted by Ukrainian military personnel, was travelling between two Ukrainian military checkpoints, less than two kilometers apart.

One observer exited an armored vehicle, and almost immediately, a rocket-propelled grenade was fired – from a location to the south-east – impacting approximately 150 meters from the vehicle. Then the shots were fired with an anti-aircraft system.

The press center for the Ukrainian armed forces, in turn, reported that militants on Wednesday evening shelled a thermal power plant in Schastia with a Grad multiple rocket launcher.
