KIEV, Ramadan 06, 1436, June 23, 2015, SPA -- The Ukrainian military on Tuesday accused Russian-backed rebels of conducting long-range artillery attacks on villages in the east and said one of its serviceman was killed and 12 wounded in clashes in the past 24 hours, Reuters reported. Kiev's military spokesman Andriy Lysenko did not say where the casualties had occurred, but said that sporadic fighting continued near the rebel-controlled airport complex in Donetsk despite a ceasefire declared last February. "Enemy shelling of populated places which are at a significant distance from the line of contact has been noticed," he said a regular briefing at midday. The villages of Yasnogorodivka and Pervomaisk and the outskirts of Gorlivka further north had been hit, he said. --SPA 15:58 LOCAL TIME 12:58 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
