One wounded soldier reported by Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine in the past 24 hours, no fatalities:
KYIV. Feb 7 (Interfax) - A Ukrainian serviceman suffered injuries in the army operation zone in eastern Ukraine in the past 24 hours, but no one was killed, Ukrainian Presidential Administration spokesman for military matters Oleksandr Motuzyanyk said.
"Hostile snipers have been active near Maryinka. One of our servicemen was injured in a provocation of the kind. We did not have other casualties," he said at a press briefing in Kyiv on Sunday.
The number of hostile attacks practically halved over the past day, 47 violations of the cease-fire were observed, yet tensions remained, Motuzyanyk said. "The enemy sporadically uses heavy weapons, for instance 120mm and 82mm mortars," the spokesman said.
The enemy staged provocations in the Donetsk sector, for instance, on the Svitlodarsk bulge, by use of grenade launchers and machine guns, and 14 mines were fired on Ukrainian positions near Horlivka, he said.
