DONETSK, July 31. /TASS/. Seven houses were damaged in
shelling from positions of the Ukrainian military, the Donetsk News Agency
reported on Sunday referring to a source at defense authorities of the
self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR).
"In the Kyibyshev district, were damaged houses in
five streets," the source said.
Under fire during the night to Sunday were the territory
of airport, settlements Spartak and Zhabichevo north of Donetsk, settlements

Members of the Contact Group for the settlement of the
situation in the east of Ukraine at a meeting in Minsk on April 29 agreed on a
complete ceasefire in Donbass starting from midnight on April 30. It is an
eighth ceasefire agreement since the autumn of 2014. The sides however continue
accusing each other of ceasefire violations.
Kiev’s security forces in the people’s militia
responsibility zone have been repeatedly violating the truce, opening fire from
mortars and tank weapons, which had to be withdrawn in accordance with the
Minsk agreements.
The Package of Measures to fulfil the September 2014
Minsk agreements, known as Minsk-2, that was signed in Minsk on February 12,
2015, envisaged a ceasefire regime between Ukrainian government forces and
people’s militias in the self-proclaimed republics in Donetsk and Lugansk (DPR
and LPR) starting from February 15, 2015 and a subsequent withdrawal of heavy
weapons from the line of engagement. The deal also laid out a roadmap for a
lasting settlement in Ukraine, including local elections and constitutional
reform to give more autonomy to the war-torn eastern regions. On June 17,
Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine Konstantin Yeliseev
told a news conference in Kiev that advisors to the leaders of the Normandy
Quartet agreed at the meeting in Minsk on June 15-16 to prepare a new summit in
the Normandy format (Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany) on the Ukrainian
conflict’s peaceful settlement.
