Ukraine fires 425 shells on DPR in 24 hours

Donetsk, Aug 8 — DAN. Ukrainian forces fired 425 rounds on the DPR over the last 24 hours, the Republic’s Mission to the JCCC said.

The enemy used heavy artillery, MLRS systems, and mortars in 62 shelling incidents.

“Twenty-five households and three infrastructure facilities were damaged,” the report reads.

Morning reports issued by the JCCC exclude information on casualties in the areas where active military action is ongoing.

Russia started a special military operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine on February 24. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the decision was made after the DPR and LPR Heads addressed him asking for help.

The Russian leader said that Moscow is not planning to occupy Ukrainian territory, the only goal is to protect people who have been continuously shelled and subjected to other forms of genocide by Ukraine for eight years. *ot
