ATO Headquarters: Calm day in Donbas, military fortify positions

The situation was calm in the Donbas conflict zone overnight, which enabled the Ukrainian military to continue equipping their positions, the press center of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) wrote on Facebook on Thursday.

"There were no violations of the Minsk agreements in ATO zone in last day, which made it possible to continue equipping positions, preparing military hardware and weapons for the withdrawal from the demarcation line under the Minsk accords," the report says.

The night of October 14 was calm in Donbas. However, shortly before the Russian proxies were not only carrying out regular provocations but were also firing underbarrel and automatic grenade launchers south of the town of Avdiyivka.
