Two Ukrainian serviceman have been killed and five wounded in separatist eastern territories in the past 24 hours as fighting extended along a large stretch of the frontline, the Ukrainian military said on Tuesday.

Violence has intensified in recent weeks despite a ceasefire which was brokered in the Belarussian capital of Minsk in mid-February. Government forces and separatists regularly accuse each other of violations.

"The enemy is using practically all means of attack available, from snipers to heavy weapons. Active fighting is going on along a broad stretch of the frontline - from Granitnoye to Horlivka," Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said, referring to two towns around 95 km (59 miles) apart. Lysenko was speaking at a regular midday briefing.

Pro-Russian rebels were also firing at government troop positions further north in Luhansk region, he said in the televised briefing.

Senior separatist commander Eduard Basurin said three rebel fighters and five civilians had been wounded as a result of Ukrainian shelling of separatist-held territory, rebel press service DAN reported.

Representatives of Ukraine, Russia, the separatists and security watchdog OSCE were due to gather in Minsk later on Tuesday for one of their regular meetings on the implementation of the ceasefire deal.

The Ukrainian volunteer Dnipro-1 Battalion on June 15 uploaded a 7-minute video clip of drone footage purporting to show heavy weapons located at four gigantic bases controlled by Russian-backed militants in Luhansk region.

In total, some 12 armoured infantry vechiles, 14 armoured personnel carriers, 47 Ural trucks, 49 KaMAZ trucks and 63 tanks are identified in the clip, as well as multipurpose tracked vehicles and other ordinance.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin and his subordinates in the Kremlin have repeatedly denied sending Russian troops and ordinance across the border into Ukraine. Russian leaders also denied sending troops to annex Ukraine's Crimea Peninsula last March.

A ceasefire declaration signed in February in Minsk, Belarus by the leaders of Ukraine, France, Germany and Russia, has been repeatedly violated. More than 100 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since the truce was signed, thousands have been wounded, and some 2 million residents of Donbas have been forced to flee their homes.
