The troops of the Luhansk People's Republic, continuing their offensive operations, have seized control of Smolyaninovo, Voyevodovka, Kremenaya, Kudryashovka, Borovenki, and Purudovka settlements. This was announced by the special representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The armed forces of the Donetsk People's Republic have established control over the peaceful settlements of Azov and Novosasarovka. Additionally, subdivisions of the People's Police of the Donetsk Republic have conducted offensive operations in Mariupol.

According to the ministry representative, yesterday at around 17:00 Moscow time, Donetsk servicemen clashed with a unit of Ukrainian armed nationalists on Pobedy Avenue in Mariupol. The armed individuals pushed more than 150 civilians ahead of them, hiding behind them as a "human shield." Upon encountering the people's militia fighters, the Ukrainian nationalists opened fire from behind the civilians.

As a result of the gunfire from the Ukrainian nationalists, 4 civilians were killed, and 5 others were injured. The fighters of the Donetsk people's militia led the liberated citizens through the GRAPE district of Mariupol to a controlled area. All of them received the necessary assistance.
