"One Ukrainian serviceman has been killed and another two have been wounded as a result of fighting in the past 24 hours," he said at a press briefing in Kyiv on Friday.

The heaviest fighting was recorded in the Avdiyivka industrial zone, he said.

"Intense strikes on the part of the adversary continued non-stop for ten hours both at daytime and nighttime," Lysenko said.

Militant forces used artillery weapons of different calibers and systems, a circumstance which suggests the simultaneous presence of several batteries near the frontline, he said.

"The number of ammunition launched from heavy weapons exceeds 100," Lysenko said.

Militant units once again fired 152mm artillery weapons on the rear area, he said.

"This time, it was the village of Arkhanhelske of the Yasynuvata district [20 kilometers from the frontline]," Lysenko said, adding that over 100 projectiles had been launched in two series of strikes before dawn.

Strikes were also recorded in the village of Luhanske, near the town of Horlivka and at the Peski-Opytne section of the frontline, where mortars and armed hardware were also used.

A total of 18 instances of shelling, including 10 strikes from heavy weapons, have been recorded in the Donetsk region in the past 24 hours, Lysenko said.
