As reported URA-Inform, referring to the press center of the headquarters of the ATU, all violations of the ceasefire regime took place in Donetsk direction.

On the Azov Sea during the daytime, the militants provoked Ukrainian soldiers in combat confrontations near Vodyanoy. Here the enemy first of large-caliber machine guns fired Ukrainian defensive fortifications with Sakhanka, which was not under the control of the Ukrainian government, and then fired from the grenade launchers and small arms from the temporarily occupied Uzhovka. In the evening, the enemy from grenade launchers and small arms violated a truce in the suburbs of Avdeevka.
