Separatist rebels fired on Ukrainian forces 23 times on New Year’s Eve, wounding three soldiers, the country’s military spokesman said.
Nobody was killed during the incidents in Ukraine’s eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in the past 24 hours, Andriy Lysenko, the spokesman, told reporters in Kiev today. Five “enemy” drones were also spotted in the conflict-affected areas overnight, he said, while a soldier who had been “abducted by bandits” was freed by Ukrainian special forces.
