Militants ravaged the whole street of Vodiane village by large-caliber artillery
Vodiane village, which is located not far from Mariupol, was attacked by Russia-backed militants with artillery of a 152mm and 122mm calibre along with mortars of a 120mm calibre, Ukrainian Anti-Terrorist Operation HQ reports. For three days, from October 12 till 14, more than 700 mines and shells hit the residential area. The fire-raid came from surrounding villiages of Leninsky, Zaichenko and Kominternove, controlled by militants, who were supposed to have removed any heavy weapon from there if they were to implement Minsk agreements.
Officers of the Ukrainian Joint Centre of Control and Coordination recorded numerous explosions from mines and shells, destruction of the residential sector and infrastructure in Vodiane.
"Due to the powerful and cynical attacks 6 houses were completely destroyed and 10 houses received significant damage. The power line was cut. Militants destroyed almost all the houses on the street in this village," report reads.
Observers also report one victim. A local old lady born in 1938 was injured, she was evacuated to a hospital in the city of Mariupol. At the time of the shelling 11 people lived in Vodiane village. Despite the risks they stayed in their houses and were not able to get to a safe place.
"All these criminal violations of the ceasefire regime and the use of the banned types of weapons by militants were carefully documented by Ukrainian serviceman. They handed over all photo materials to the representatives of special monitoring mission of OSCE in Ukraine," observers say.
As reported, despite all peace talks and agreements militant weapons are not silent in Donbas warzone. Heavy and deliberate shelling of civil residencies and infrastructure seems to be a typical Russian tactics. In summer even OSCE SMM was caught in mortar shelling in government-controlled village of Vodiane. Same tactics we can see in Syria, where Putin's deeds already called war crimes by European leaders.

Mariupol sector remains a hotspot on Donbas conflict zone map
Combined Russian-separatist forces attacked Ukrainian army positions in eastern Ukraine 29 times in the past 24 hours, including 20 in the Mariupol sector, six barrages in the Luhansk sector, and three in the Donetsk sector, according to the press center of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
In the Mariupol sector, the enemy used 122mm cannon artillery systems and mortars of both calibers in the villages of Shyrokyne, Vodiane and Lebedynske. The militants also fired from 120mm and 82mm mortars and infantry fighting vehicles near the village of Talakivka, as well as grenade launchers and small arms on the Ukrainian fortified positions in the town of Krasnohorivka.
In the Luhansk sector, Russia's hybrid military force fired 82mm mortars toward the village of Stanytsia Luhanska, as well as grenade launchers, machine guns and small arms near the town of Zolote, and the villages of Novo-Oleksandrivka and Orikhove.

Ukraine reports of three wounded servicemen overnight
Three Ukrainian soldiers were wounded in the conflict zone in the past 24 hours, the country's Defense Ministry spokesman Andriy Lysenko said on Tuesday, October 18.
Four more servicemen suffered from contusion, but Kyiv managed to avoid casualties, Lysenko said.
At the same time, Ukraine reported 28 attacks overnight, with the most intense combat taking place near Mariupol, where the Russian-backed separatist forces shelled government forces 20 times.
The situation in the Luhansk region was less violent as only 6 shootings occurred in the area.
After militants recently vowed to avenge the death of their comrade Motorola, concerns were raised over possible escalation in the Donbas warzone.
‘Regarding the death of one of the combatants – it hasn't changed the situation on the front line in any way', Lysenko reported.
Touching upon the withdrawal of the troops planned in Stanytsia Luhanska, the spokesman said disengagement remains impossible over constant attacks from the separatists.
Only after seven days of solid ceasefire the sides can start to withdraw their forces, Lysenko explained.

Alleged spies were recruited by Ukraine, separatists say
Three Ukrainian citizens have reportedly been ‘convicted' to 13, 15 and 18 years in prison in the militant-held Donetsk region, Ukrainian news agencies report.
They are accused of ‘espionage', the so-called supreme court head Eduard Yakubovskiy claimed, alleging that the individuals ‘were recruited by Ukraine'.
Yakuvovsky claimed, that one of the ‘spies' was a Ukrainian serviceman.
Earlier Kyiv said that the militants hold more than 100 people prisoners.
The sides have been negotiating about the exchange of the POWs, but the talks have lately come to a grinding halt.
