For instance, the village of Krymske in the Novoaidarsky district was attacked thrice on Dec.15, by Grad rocket launchers at 11:30 a.m., by mortars at 12:35 p.m. and by automatic grenade launchers and light weapons at around midnight,” says a report posted on the Moskal website on Dec.16.

There were no civilian casualties. Besides, there were sporadic submachine gun and large-caliber machine gun fire exchanges in Stanytsia Luhanska. There were no civilian casualties there either and public utility service was good with minor exceptions.
