Over the past day, January 14, the Russian-occupation troops launched two attacks, using weapons prohibited under the Minsk agreements once, in the Joint Forces Operation (JFO) area in eastern Ukraine.

“Outside Vodiane (94km south of Donetsk), Russian mercenaries opened fire from 82mm mortars and tripod-mounted man-portable antitank guns. Near Prychepylivka (50km north-west of Luhansk), the enemy fired grenade machine guns and small arms,” the press center of JFO Headquarters posted on Facebook.

The Joint Forces reported no casualties.

The Ukrainian troops returned fire without resorting to weapons banned under the Minsk agreements and forced the enemy to cease shelling.

As of 07:00, January 15, no ceasefire violations by the Russian-occupation forces were recorded.

The service members of the Joint Forces control the situation and continue to repel and deter the armed aggression of the Russian Federation.
