LUGANSK, June 18. /TASS/. The Ukrainian army has shelled the territory of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) 12 times over the past twenty-four hours, the LPR defense authorities said on Sunday.
"The
shelling attacks targeted the districts of Pervomaisk, Slavyanoserbsk, the
township of Kalinovo, the villages of Molodyozhnoye, Rayevka, Sokolniki,
Vesyolenkoye and Oboznoye," the news agency Luganskinformcenter quoted a
spokesman for the LPR defense authorities as saying.

Ukrainian military conducted fire from 120mm and 82mm mortars, grenade
launchers and small arms, the spokesman said.
Since the
autumn of 2014, the Contact Group seeking to find a solution to the conflict in
southeast Ukraine’s region of Donbass has negotiated more than ten ceasefires
but none lasted for long, with the parties accusing each other of breaking them
down.
Ahead of
the International Day for Protection of Children, the parties to the conflict
had agreed to another ceasefire that came into force at midnight on June 1.
Nevertheless, the shellings continue.
