Five Ukrainian soldiers wounded in Donbas in last day

No Ukrainian soldiers were killed but five were wounded in the Donbas conflict zone over the last 24 hours, presidential administration spokesman for the Anti-Terrorist Operation Colonel Andriy Lysenko said at a briefing in Kyiv on Tuesday, according to an UNIAN correspondent.

"Over the last day, we haven’t lost any Ukrainian soldiers, but five were injured as a result of military clashes," he said.

According to Lysenko, the situation in the Donbas conflict zone is worsening. The number of violations of the ceasefire by the combined Russian-separatist forces is increasing, including with the use of heavy weapons.

He also said that the Ukrainian army had recorded 12 reconnaissance overflights by enemy drones in Luhansk region, and one in Zaporizhia region.
