Ukrainian film artillery impacts Russian backed militia positions in public video
Can't embed the video (It's from VKontake)

Looking over the area via Google earth, you can see numerous shell holes north of Telmanovo. The affected area is ( I think) west northwest of Telmanovo. You can see trenches and shell holes there as well.


Note from the journalist Varvara Pukhova:
Geographical note: Novaya Marievka is a village close to Ukrainian lines
“Regular shelling of the Ukrainian military forced the residents of Novaya Marievka to hide in basements. The settlement of Novaya Marievka, although it is in direct line of sight from the opposite bank of the Kalmius River occupied by the Ukrainian army, has been considered a relatively quiet place since the active fighting in 2015.

Affected by the large distance to the enemy. The situation changed earlier this week when Ukrainian troops crossed the river and tried to gain a foothold on the opposite bank in the village of Staromaryevka.

Despite the statements of the Ukrainian leadership that they crossed the water barrier for "humanitarian purposes", the first thing that the special forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine did was to arrest local residents with passports of the Russian Federation and the DPR.

At the same time, the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine methodically began to work the roads and heights, covering the attempt of their troops to gain a foothold on the bridgehead. The nearest village, Novaya Maryevka, came under fire from large-caliber artillery.

At the moment of calm, local residents clean up the remains of windows and roofs broken by close hits. They spend their last nights in basements again, and do not leave the courtyards to work in vegetable gardens, which are hit by mines and shells.

"I was insanely afraid, all the old people stayed here, we are hiding in the basement, who can walk. Those who are lying are just in their houses, and I am afraid for them," says a local resident Svetlana before bursting into tears from her nerves and experienced fear.

At the moment, the Ukrainian troops are suffering losses, but under the cries of their propaganda about the victorious "toad jump" they continue to remain in Staromaryevka under the cover of civilians, and their artillery shells the villages of the Telmanovsky district of the DPR every day. "
