On the night of 29 May, an SMM long-range unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) spotted in “DPR” ( Russia-backed Donetsk People’s Republic) – controlled Mineralne (10km north-east of Donetsk) two self-propelled howitzers (2S3 Akatsiya, 152mm) firing four rounds in a north-western direction – in the general area of Ukraine-controlled Avdiivka (17km north of Donetsk) – after two explosions had just occurred within 200 metres of their position.
The incidents constitute two violations of the ceasefire, both because of the presence of Russian heavy weapons within the withdrawal lines, and the use of such weapons.
