DPR calls on Kiev to punish responsible for drone attack on Republic

Donetsk, Aug 2 – DAN.  Ukraine’s usage of attack drones in Donbass has become a blatant violation of the ceasefire and the Minsk Agreements, said DPR Foreign Minister Natalia Nikonorova.

“Ukrainian attack drone was used on August 1 outside Oktyabr, as a result three troops have been injure. We demand that Ukraine investigates the incident and applies sanctions to the perpetrators; and that the OSCE SMM records the facts on the investigation and sanctions.”

The DPR has sharply criticized the attack and qualified it is terrorism.

According to the Article 7 of the Minsk Memorandum dated 19 September 2014, the use of combat aircrafts and UAVs is banned along the contact line in the 30km-wide zone of ceasefire, with the only exception made for the OSCE SMM drones. *ot*pp
