Avdiyivka residents were writing in social networks of incoming explosions at the same time as the people in Donetsk were writing about the outgoing fire. In addition, a correspondent of the Russian propaganda newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda mentioned that she heard Grads at the funeral of the leader of “Vostok” battalion Ivan "Greek" Balakay January 31.

DONETSK. Feb 5 (Interfax) - The situation in Donbas has stabilized, 524 shell attacks have been recorded over the past 24 hours, Eduard Basurin of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Defense Ministry told journalists.
"The situation in the Donetsk People's Republic has a tendency for stabilization. However, the shell attacks from the Armed Forces positions do not stop," Basurin said.
"Hostiles continue shelling the populated areas in the republic, predominantly hitting the residential quarters," he said.
"The Ukrainian criminal forces fired the DPR territory 524 times over the past 24 hours. In the overall number of [the shell attacks] the artillery was used 25 times, mortars of different calibers 158 times, infantry combat vehicles - 40 times, anti-aircraft launchers, grenade launchers and small arms - 301 times," he said.
As a result of the Ukrainian army shell attacks on the Yasne populated area (a Dokuchayevsk suburb), a residential house, which is situated at 13, Bohdan Khmelnytsky street, was damaged, a heating main and power lines were broken that cut off electricity to the whole populated area, he said.
Furthermore, the Ukrainian side barred the DPR representatives in the Joint Center for Control and Coordination (JCCC) from visiting the Donetsk water filtration station on Saturday, he said. "Meanwhile, OSCE SMM Principal Deputy Chief Monitor Alexander Hug supported them that breaches the agreements on representation of the Republics in the Joint Center,"
Such a behavior by the Ukrainian party in the JCCC can be linked to the lack of Kyiv representatives' willingness to conduct direct dialogue with representatives of the republics, he also said.
At this point, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said earlier on Sunday that the Russian party to the JCCC had unilaterally restricted the number of employees admitted to repair on the contact line.
"The Russian party to the JCCC as of 6 a.m., on February 5, unilaterally limited to ten people the number of employees and bomb disposal experts required for repairs, while at least 30 people are needed for their qualitative performance," Kyiv said.
The military operation headquarters said that this "largely hampers restoration of the damaged infrastructure in Donbas."
As earlier reported, restoration of the power grids, which provide electricity to the Donetsk filtration station itself, Avdiivka, Yasynuvata and a part of the Donetsk city, but damaged in the shelling, is underway near the filtration station.

"We have fixed arrival to Zolotoye of nine trucks with munition, escorted by four APCs," militia’s spokesman of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic Andrei Marchenko said
LUGANSK, February 5. /TASS/. Ukraine’s military have relocated to the line of engagement self-propelled artillery units (SAU), tanks, infantry fighting vehicles (IFV) and armored personnel carriers (APCs), militia’s spokesman of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) Andrei Marchenko said on Sunday.
"We have fixed arrival to Zolotoye of nine trucks with munition, escorted by four APCs," LuganskInformCenter quoted him. "With the convoy have come 20 well-equipped personnel."
In Vozrozhdeniye, at night, arrived a convoy of the Ukrainian armored vehicles, including three tanks, two SAU and five IFVs, and a group of foreign mercenaries arrived in Troitskoye.
"Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces activated reconnaissance along the combat engagement by means of unmanned aerial vehicles," the spokesman said. Near Krymskoye, he continued, the Ukrainian military conducted aerial reconnaissance so that a sabotage group could get into the "grey zone" and into LPR territory for sabotage actions there.
The past few days have seen a surge in tensions along the engagement line. Bombardments by Ukrainian forces have caused civilian casualties and ruined many homes and infrastructures. The UN Security Council on Tuesday evening issued a special statement to express concern over what it said was "dangerous escalation. It urged both sides to cease fire immediately. The Security Council condemned the use of weapons outlawed by the Minsk Accords.
On February 1, the Contact Group for a settlement in the east of Ukraine met in session in Minsk to call for a ceasefire in Donbass and for pulling back all weapons and military equipment away from the engagement line by February 5.
In accordance with package of measures for the implementation of the Minsk Accords of February 12, 2015 all weapons having a caliber of 100 mm and more should be pulled back to points located 50 kilometers away from each other, multiple rocket launchers to areas 70 kilometers away, and multiple rocket launchers Tornado-S, Uragan and Smerch and Tochka missiles, to positions 140 kilometers away. Under an addendum to the package of measures all artillery pieces having a caliber of under 100 mm, tanks and mortars, including 120-mm mortars, are to be pulled back, too.
