One Ukrainian soldier was killed and four wounded by enemy fire in the eastern Donbass region on Tuesday, the army said in a statement.

Earlier the army had accused Russian forces of trying to cross Ukrainian lines, firing mortars, grenade launchers and machine guns.

A simmering conflict between Ukrainian troops and Russian-backed forces in eastern Ukraine has killed more than 13,000 people since 2014 despite a ceasefire agreement struck in 2015.
