More than 20 residential houses and 5 civilian infrastructure objects were damaged in October by Ukrainian attacks on the LPR, the Republic's Mission to the JCCC said.

"Not only the number of attacks grew, but their consequences have become more dire, as damage to housing has been reported for the first time in 12 months," the statement reads.

Ukrainian army violated the lull 61 times in October.

Two houses in Prishib were destroyed, 19 houses in Golubovskoye, Zolotye-5 (Mikhailovka), Znamenka and Prishib were damaged, 5 infrastructural facilities sustained hits.

The members of the Contact Group have announced ceasefire more than 20 times since the autumn of 2014. Kiev forces regularly violated the truce opening fire with large caliber artillery, mortars and tank guns which were to have been withdrawn in accordance with the Minsk agreements.

The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014. Conflict settlement relies on the Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements, signed on February 12, 2015 in the Belarussian capital by the Contact Group members and coordinated by the Normandy Four heads of states (Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine). The document provides for ceasefire and withdrawal of heavy weapons from the contact line. *t
