Donetsk, Apr 16 – DAN. Ukrainian army fired five 120 mm artillery rounds at western Donetsk, the DPR Mission to the JCCC said.

The shelling was recorded at 8.40 a.m., and targeted Staromikhailovka originating from the direction of Krasnogorovka.

"Ukraine ignores the request to reinstall ceasefire through the coordination mechanism," the report reads.

Kiev forces violated the ceasefire three times on Thursday.

In both previous accidents the Ukrainian side refused to confirm the shelling via the coordination mechanism.

 The Additional Measures to Strengthen the Ceasefire were signed at the Contact Group meeting on July 22 to reinforce and control the indefinite ceasefire in effect since July 21, 2019, the latest in the series of more than 20 reconfirmation and announcements of the “silence regime”. The package came into effect on July 27. *ot*pp
