Russia-backed militants attacked from all directions, but the level of hostilities decreased
Russian proxies attacked Ukrainian positions and government-held settlements only 15 times during the last day, which indicates decreasing of the level of hostilities in Donbas, Ukrainian Anti-Terrorist Operation HQ reports. But it doesn't mean the war is over.
Spokesman for the Defence Ministry of Ukraine Col. Andriy Lysenko specified: "yesterday's enemy combat activity was slightly lower than in previous days", but at least few attacks were noted on each direction.
The biggest number of militant's attacks ten reported on Mariupol direction. Russian proxies shelled Ukrainian positions with mortars (40 hits reported), armour and light weapons.
Three attacks noted in Luhansk sector. Militants used mortars and anti-air guns.
Two more attacks noted near Donetsk.
"Just after midnight, militants conducted a mortar attack near the Donetsk airport, firing more than 10 shells. And after sunset silence was broken in Avdiyivka – where gunmen fired at the positions of Ukrainian defenders with small arms and grenade launchers of different systems for nearly half an hour. Our military opened fire in response," Col. Lysenko explained.

During the last day no Ukrainian soldier reported KIA, two fighters were wounded.
Meanwhile, "in the past 3 days the enemy suffered serious losses," Defence Intelligence reports. 11 militants were killed during the unsuccessful attacks of Avdiyivka industrial zone. Another 3 dead reported in the Lugansk area.
Also militants suffer from regular incidents of uncontrolled explosions of defective ammunition – as in training, in a combat zone. "Over the past three months five occupiers were killed, more than 20 were wounded during the transportation of shells and mines to the front," Intel reports. Also yesterday the explosion of 120mm mortar reported near the Donetsk airport. Three militants died during the incident, five more were wounded.

Today's chief of ‘Luhansk republic' Plotnitsky blamed responsible for provocative shelling of the city
The current leader of the Luhansk-based militants Igor Plotnitsky mysteriously appeared in occupied Luhansk and his battalion deliberately shelled residential areas of the city, fugitive ex-leader of the so-called ‘Luhansk republic' Valery Bolotov stated in an interview with "Rosbalt" agency. He specified: battalion "Zarya", commanded by Plotnitsky, made provocations and fire raids on Luhansk in the summer of 2014.
Being asked about militant shelling of the civilians in Luhansk, Bolotov assured, that it's true, but he is not responsible for those crimes, because Plotnitsky's unit wasn't acting by itself.
"Yes. And not only ‘Zarya' (shelled Luhansk – UT). It was noticed to many people who were supposed to commit acts of sabotage and degrade discipline. I once ordered Plotnitsky to assemble the battalion for the protection of law and order in the city, combat tasks and and protection of borders of the ‘Luhansk people's republic'. However, as it turned out, the battalion ‘worked' with another aim. I tried, but I did not have the time, resources, and opportunities to be around all the time, and set the control of those people. I trusted Plotnitsky, and he formed a battalion ‘for himself'. These Plotnitsky's people were following his orders, not mine," fugitive militant chief said.
Bolotov also said, that he is now living in Moscow because Plotnitsky made a coup against him, presented as ‘elections.'
"When I left (for Moscow – UT), I appointed him as my deputy. Naturally, all the circumstances of my departure I just can't tell, while I was away, he quickly held ‘elections'. And it was clear beforehand that Plotnitsky would be elected," the militant said.
As UT reported, earlier Belarusian, who fought in Donbas in militant ranks, told media that Plotnitsky ordered the shelling of Luhansk.

Two Ukrainian soldiers were wounded in the Donbas Anti-Terrorist operation (ATO) zone, Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesman Andriy Lysenko said.
"No Ukrainian servicemen died but two suffered injuries in the hostilities over the past day," Lysenko told a press briefing in Kyiv on Friday.
In the Luhansk sector, the hostiles conducted three attacks on Ukrainian army positions, he said. Two mortar attacks were observed east of Popasna, and a third attack employing an anti-aircraft gun was seen near the village of Lobacheve.
According to Lysenko, the hostiles fired ten mortar mines near the Donetsk airport area in the Donetsk sector, and Ukrainian army positions in Avdiyivka experienced a 90-minute attack using small arms and grenade launchers, he said.
In the Mariupol sector, the hostiles fired mortars in the Vodiane-Shyrokyne sector.
