Ukrainian Forces Fire Rockets in Eastern Donetsk Region.

Ukrainian forces fire multiple rockets using “GRAD BM-21” launchers near Sviatogorsk, a town in Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast region.

MORE: Intense fighting rages in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region, where Russia has been concentrating its forces without making significant progress.

Ukrainian forces repulsed Russian attempts to cross a river and encircle the city of Severodonetsk, says Serhiy Gaidai, governor of the eastern Luhansk region.

“There’s heavy fighting on the border with Donetsk region, from the side of Popasna,” Gaidai says, reporting heavy losses of equipment and personnel by the Russians.
