Three Ukrainian military servicemen were injured by hitting an explosive device near the community of Bakhchovyk in the Volnovakha district, the Donetsk region, Ukrainian presidential spokesman for the military operation in Donbas Andriy Lysenko said.
No Ukrainian servicemen have been killed in action over the past 24 hours, but, unfortunately, three sustained injuries,” Lysenko said at a news briefing in Kyiv on Saturday.
After receiving medical aid, the servicemen returned to their unit, he said.
No shooting has been recorded in the Luhansk sector over the past 24 hours, he said.
Low-intensity fighting is continuing in the Donetsk sector, he said.
The militia “are provoking Ukrainian servicemen into returning fire near Avdiyivka by shelling their positions with grenade launchers and firearms. The enemy also violated the ceasefire near the Svitlodar water reservoir and the Donetsk airport,” Lysenko said.
The situation in the Mariupol sector has somewhat stabilized, he said.
“The enemy has not used heavy weapons. Brief enemy provocations were recorded in Hranitne, Hnutove, and Shyrokyne,” Lysenko said.
