The situation was tense in the Donbas conflict zone in the last day as the combined Russian-separatist forces opened fire thrice on the Ukrainian army positions, the press center of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.

"From 23:15 to 23:50 local time on Monday, the militants were firing small arms on ATO forces near the village of Pisky.

Abiding by the Minsk agreements, the Ukrainian military did not open fire in response," the press center said.
