The enemy used mortars, infantry fighting vehicle cannons, armored personnel carriers guns, grenade launchers and small arms.

No casualties have been immediately reported.

The ‘school ceasefire’ has been agreed to by the sides as the new academic year is to begin in Donbass on September 1. It came into force at midnight August 25. It hasn’t proved to be durable, thought in the first hours the security situation along the contact line stabilized.*ot
