DPR defence ministry: Ukrainian troops shelling Donetsk suburbs from tanks and mortars

Ukrainian troops are shelling Donetsk suburbs from tanks and mortar, a spokesman for the defence ministry of Donetsk People’s Republic said late on Monday.

"Ukrainian troops have opened tank and mortar fire at the settlement of Oktyabrsky and the Donetsk airport from the settlement of Oputnoye," the Donetsk News Agency quoted him as saying.

The spokesman said Ukrainian troops were using 82 and 120 mm mortars.

No information is available about casualties and damages.

Ceasefire in eastern Ukraine is one of the key provisions of the Minsk agreements on the Ukrainian settlement. Other provisions include heavy weaponry withdrawal.
