Donetsk, Dec 25 – DAN. Ukrainian forces violated the Additional Measures to Strengthen the Ceasefire twice over the past 24 hours, the DPR mission to the Joint Centre for Control and Coordination (JCCC) said.

Engineer works were reported at the frontline in the vicinity of Opytnoye north of Donetsk; 14 explosions were heard there between 9.30 a.m. and 10.10 a.m. local time. Ukrainian service members took part in the works.

No shelling was reported in the 24-hour period, though the enemy targeted DPR south on Friday morning with mortars and grenade laucnhers.

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
