Ukrainian positions in the area of Novoluhanske (53km north-east of Donetsk) came under heavy machine gun and hand-held antitank grenade launcher fire twice. Near Novozvanivka (70km west of Luhansk), the enemy used anti-tank missile system. Outside Luhanske (59km north-east of Donetsk), the enemy armed formations launched two attacks from tripod-mounted man-portable antitank guns, heavy machine guns, and 82mm mortars.
