Donetsk, Dec 10 - DAN. Ukrainian army units have violated the ceasefire five times over the past 24 hours firing more than 40 rounds of ammunition at Donetsk People’s Republic areas, the DPR Office at the Joint Centre for Control and Coordination (JCCC) reported on Thursday.

“Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian forces violated the ceasefire five times expending 44 rounds of ammunition,” the report said.

The amount of expended ammunition of calibre up to 12.7mm is not added to overall daily statistics.

Fire was delivered at the outskirts of the Novaya Tavriya and Leninskoye villages in the Novoazovskiy district and the Shakhta 6/7 settlement in northwestern Gorlovka. The enemy employed 82mm and 120mm mortars and RPG and SPG grenade launchers, the JCCC said.
