This information was confirmed by spokesman for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladyslav Selezniov who wrote an update on Twitter an hour after he tweeted that there was no shelling in Pisky and the situation was under control.

Ukrainian Channel 24 in turn broadcast referring to the Defense Ministry that one Ukrainian soldier had been shot by militants from small arms near Pisky and Opytne.
