Arsen Avakov (Minister of Interior) and V. Gritsak (Head of the ATO)[1]

Luhansk

The airport had been under Kiev control since 14 Jul when Ukraine forces had ended a rebel blockade.[2]

Shakhtarsk

Ukrainian forces and rebels had been battling in the Shakhtarsk area for several days but the town was still in rebel hands. [3] [4]

Marynivka

DPR-affiliated insurgents launched an offensive on neighbouring government-controlled Marynivka (47.90484,38.84162) from village of Stepanivka (47.92478,38.80076) and Savur-Mohyla/Savur-Mogila/Saur-Mogila/Savur-Mogila on 16 July.[5]Marynivka is a border town located in the southern Donetsk Oblast. Its position on the border made control of it important to maintaining insurgent supply-lines. Insurgents launched an offensive on National Guard of Ukraine positions in the town on 16 July, after breaking through encirclement by government forces in neighbouring Stepanivka. Two days after the downing of a government An-26 transport plane, Ukrainian warplanes had been given the go-ahead to resume flights over the east, Lysenko said. Kiev says it believes the transporter was hit by a missile fired from Russia. A separate SU-25 fighter plane was hit by a rebel rocket on the 16th, but the pilot made a successful emergency landing and there was only slight damage to the aircraft, the defence ministry said. No-one was hurt. [6] Fighting also spread to the nearby village of Tarany (47.88782,38.78399).[7]During this offensive, the insurgents used tanks, mortars, and anti-tank missiles against government forces. Insurgents shelled Marynivka until the National Guard was able to repel their offensive and force them to retreat to Stepanivka.[8] Later on, the insurgents said that had recaptured Marynivka. [9] Insurgent spokesman Sergei Kavtaradze said that fifteen insurgents had one insurgent had been killed, while fifteen were injured. Insurgent commander Igor Girkin said that DPR insurgents destroyed two Ukrainian armoured vehicles and captured one.[10] Large numbers of Ukrainian troops, trapped near Saur Mogila, were reportedly attempting to fight their way out of the encirclement.[11] Ukrainian forces came under continued attack by the insurgents in Marynivka, despite managing to hold onto control of it on 16 July. On the day after the first insurgent offensive, government forces repelled another four attacks, and destroyed three tanks, two armoured personnel carriers, and two other combat vehicles.[12]
