Separatists Shell ATO Positions And, Reportedly, Residential Areas
08:54 (GMT)
Vladislav Seleznev, the official spokesman for the Ukrainian government's Anti-Terrorism Operation (ATO), has written on his Facebook page that separatist fighters in Severodonetsk have shelled Ukrainian positions and residential areas.
Ukrainska Pravda reports that Seleznev wrote (translated by The Interpreter):
"Having fired several rounds at the positions of the Ukrainian troops, the militants deployed their mortars in the opposite direction and opened fire on residential areas of the city," wrote Seleznev.
According to operational data, there are no civilian casualties, but "a few buildings in the city were damaged."
According to the spokesman for the ATO, the terrorists have used this tactic to turn the local population against Ukrainian forces.
We would stress here that Seleznev's report of the separatists firing on civilian areas in order to tarnish the image of the ATO is not, as yet, verified by any material evidence.
