The OSCE SMM said this in a report issued on March 31, based on information from the monitoring teams received as of 19:30 on March 30, 2020.

"In Donetsk region, the SMM recorded an almost three-fold increase in ceasefire violations, including about a ten-fold increase in explosions (about 405), compared with the previous 24 hours (about 45 explosions)," the report says.

The majority of ceasefire violations, including more than three-quarters of explosions, were recorded at westerly directions of Horlivka (non-government-controlled, 39km north-east of Donetsk).

“In Luhansk region, the SMM recorded more ceasefire violations, including more explosions (34), compared with the previous 24 hours (ten explosions),” the report notes.
