The activity of Russian-terrorist troops is moving from Donetsktowards Artemivsk. The positions of Ukrainian troops were shelled practically along the entire line of contact in this area – from Horlivka to Donetske. The activity of local terrorist gangs and Russian mercenaries has been observed near Mayorska station, the the settlements ofShumy, Artemove, Leninske, Kirove, Luhanske,Rozsadky, Myronivskyi,Popasna, Katerynivka, Zolote, where the positions and strongholds of Ukrainian troops were shelled.
On the Pisky–Avdiivka stretch, the enemy used small arms and artillery (122- and 152-mm caliber), mortars (120- and 82-mm caliber) throughout the day. The positions of Ukrainian troops were also shelled in the vicinity of Opytne andVodyane. The intensity and scope of attacks have increased in these areas.
The enemy has also mobilized several infantry firing teams within the past 24 hours nearKirove, Leninske, and Shumy to strike the positions of Ukrainian troops from AGS-17 automatic grenade launchers, large-caliber machine guns, and 82-mm mortars. Well-established and coordinated interaction between the cannon artillery and mortar units of the insurgents operating in these areas indicates the presence of a single command structure.

If Ukraine is an example of the type of wars we'll fight in the future, then we really need to get our artillery house in order.
