The occupiers resorted to proscribed weapons in the Mariupol sector. In particular, 122mm artillery systems were used to shell the Ukrainian fortified positions near the villages of Pavlopil and Novohryhorivka. The village of Hnutove came under 120mm and 82mm mortar fire. Mortars of a smaller, 82mm, caliber were also fired on areas near the village of Novomykhailivka and the town of Krasnohorivka. In addition, the enemy used anti-tank missile systems near Pavlopil. Further, the illegal armed groups repeatedly opened fire from small arms, grenade launchers and guns of infantry fighting vehicles in the past day to attack Ukrainian defenders near the villages of Talakivka, Lebedynske, and Vodiane.

Enemy shelling in the Donetsk sector almost does not subside with the areas near the town of Avdiyivka being its epicenter. On Sunday, June 11, the Russian-backed mercenaries repeatedly launched heavy firing from mortars and less powerful weapons in the southern outskirts of this town and north-east, closer to the village of Kamianka. At about 18:00 Kyiv time, the Ukrainian fortified positions in that area came under fire from tanks. One enemy shell again hit a civilian district in Avdiyivka. Fortunately, none of the local residents was injured.

As reported earlier, the occupiers shelled a water pumping station of the South Donbas water conduit, which had to stop. Their grenade also hit a house in the village of Zaitseve.
