A skirmish between Ukrainian and Donetsk People's Republic's reconnaissance troops took place near Dokuchaievsk in early March 2016, during the War in Donbass.
The Skirmish
On the night of March 4, a Ukrainian Special Forces squad patrolling along the Mariupol front detected a Russian-separatists special operations group near the town of Dokuchaievsk. Both sides engaged each other in a firefight that left two Ukrainian Spetznaz troops dead and several wounded.[1][2][3]
A Ukrainian presidential spokesman for the military operation in Eastern Ukraine, Andriy Lysenko, said the pro-Russian squadron suffered up to 30 fatalities in the battle, that involved coordinated actions by Ukrainian armed forces servicemen from several different service arms.[4]
Donetsk People's Republic spokesman, deputy defence minister Eduard Basurin, said several civilian casualties were caused by Ukrainian shelling in the neighboring village of Nikolayevka.[5]
