Wednesday results in the occupied territories of Donbass. The highlights

On October 31, Russian occupation forces shelled the defensive fortifications of the Joint Forces 13 times, - the JFO headquarters report. The enemy conducted aimed fire from grenade launchers of various systems, large-caliber machine guns and small arms. The greatest fire activity of the enemy was recorded near Vodiane and Zolote. Moreover, the enemy fire was recorded in the areas of Avdiivka, Pisky, Novomykhaylivka, Starohnativka, Pavlopil and Lebedynske settlements. The commanders of our defending units took decisive actions to suppress the enemy fire.

The distance between Ukrainian military and militants in the area of Horlivka was reduced by 1 km, the advance was recorded from the east. This was stated on October 31 by Principal Deputy Chief Monitor of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine Alexander Hug.

Occupation authorities of the "LNR" are trying to give the planned "elections" at least some semblance of legitimacy using the comments of random people who are called "foreign observers". Such a substitution of notions can often be seen in separatist media. For example, a certain observer from Yemen named Al-Hasheb Rashid Abdulkudos Ibrahim signed under another statement that the election in the "LNR" is the way to build the "basic norms of democracy" and that the "elections" in the occupied Donbass, not recognized by the whole world by default, "do not contradict the Minsk agreements". As the vigilant users of social networks have noticed, the Arab medical student from Russian Oryol, who does not represent any serious democratic institution, has acted as a "foreign observer".

From November 1, the so-called "Border Guard Service" of the "Ministry of State Security of the LNR" will carry out the passage of persons through the contact line at the Stanytsia Luhanska checkpoint from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time. This is written by separatist media.

The "police" in occupied Luhansk neutralized a robber who terrorized women. "Sverdlovsk - you should know this" group writes this on social network. According to the source, a 28-year-old resident of Luhansk Anton Ivanchenko, who had previously been convicted of murder, carjacking, robbery and possession of weapons, turned out to be a robber. It was reported earlier that an unknown person attacked a 22-year-old girl with a knife on the Lineva Street in Luhansk.

A large-scale theft was committed in the building of central department store in occupied Donetsk. On the night of October 31, thieves robbed two departments with jewelry: they took 10 kg of gold and diamonds, - separatist media report. The total amount of damage is more than $450 thousand. According to the local "police", the wires from surveillance videocameras and alarm were cut. Presumably, the robbers hid in the building before its closing.
