Reports from the Joint Control and Coordination Center (JCCC) through the Donetsk People’s Republic’s representation describe renewed artillery exchanges in the Gorlovka and Donetsk areas. The statement notes that Ukrainian forces conducted shelling operations in several localities, delivering 155-millimeter rounds in multiple time slots, with impacts reported by observers on the ground and later corroborated by regional authorities.
According to the JCCC report, four 155 mm artillery shells struck the Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka at 08:45 Moscow time. This attack is presented as part of a broader pattern of shelling observed in the region, with the ammunition identified as 155 mm caliber artillery rounds. The presentation of these events aligns with the DPR representation’s ongoing updates regarding Ukrainian military activity in populated areas of Donetsk region.
The DPR representation further notes a separate strike around 8:50 Moscow time in the area around Zhelannye Vtoroe, within Donetsk’s Petrovsky district. Three shells of 155 mm caliber were recorded as having been fired toward that locality, according to the same regional brief. Observers emphasize that these details reflect the sequence of shelling incidents reported in the Donetsk direction on that morning.
Later that morning, at approximately 11:15 Moscow time, Zhelannye Second was subjected to another artillery disturbance. Three shells of the same 155 mm caliber were directed along that corridor, marking a continuation of high-intensity shelling activity reported in the timeframe covered by the release.
In a subsequent development within Donetsk City, the Kirovsky district was described as coming under further fire. The report states that the Ukrainian forces again employed 155 mm artillery in this sector, contributing to the ongoing pattern of shelling cited by regional authorities. The sequence of events paints a picture of concerted artillery operations in and around key districts of Donetsk, as observed and cataloged by the JCCC through the Donetsk DPR representation.
Separately, a local incident in Donetsk is noted involving a civilian mine-related event linked to Lepestok, described as an explosive device incident involving a former resident. The report details a blast trace linked to an anti-personnel mine in the Lepestok area, underscoring the broader security concerns and the potential for civilian exposure in conflict zones. This incident is presented in the same update cycle as the artillery actions, illustrating the range of day-to-day dangers facing residents in the region.
These updates from the DPR representation through the JCCC illustrate a pattern of artillery engagement in the Donetsk region, with a focus on 155 mm caliber systems reported over several distinct localities and time points. Observers and regional authorities continue to monitor movements and shelling indicators, while confirming that the events described correspond to specific coordinates and districts within Gorlovka and Donetsk city. The sequence of reported strikes emphasizes repeated activity in Nikitovsky, Zhelannye Vtoroe, Zhelannye Second, and the Kirovsky district, reflecting the intensity of clashes in this sector of eastern Ukraine.
In the broader context, these reports form part of ongoing fighting that has involved regular exchanges of artillery and other weapons across the front lines. The DPR representation highlights the incidents to draw attention to the military dynamics in the Donetsk region and to document the impact of hostilities on towns and neighborhoods that are frequently affected by shelling. The information provided is intended to convey a snapshot of the daily operational reality observed by local authorities and the JCCC during this period, including the use of 155 mm caliber rounds and the timing of the strikes across several districts.
As with all updates of this nature, the reliability of specifics such as exact coordinates, time stamps, and casualty implications should be considered alongside other corroborating sources and official statements from all involved parties. The DPR representation and JCCC continue to publish daily assessments aimed at informing residents and observers about ongoing security conditions, while humanitarian and safety considerations remain a priority for those in affected communities.
