The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) recorded multiple shelling incidents in eastern Ukraine early Thursday. A top Ukrainian government official told Reuters that the shelling at the cease-fire line surpasses the level of breaches previously reported during the long-running conflict.

“It’s part of the playbook,” said UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, who warned of “activity on the ground in cyber, in forward or specialist forces, seeking to either do false flags or to create pretext. You’re definitely going to start seeing, we already are seeing, the raising of the rhetoric around alleged breaches.”

The self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic accused Ukrainian forces of firing mortars, grenade launchers and a machine gun on Thursday.
“Armed forces of Ukraine have crudely violated the ceasefire regime, using heavy weapons, which, according to the Minsk agreements, should be withdrawn,” the rebels said in a statement.
