DONETSK. Feb 10 (Interfax) - The possibility of launching a counter-offensive in the south of the Donetsk region has not been ruled out, Eduard Basurin of the Defense Ministry of the DPR told reporters.

"A counter-offensive by the militia is possible in the south, but we do not see this area as the main one," he said.

Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council earlier announced the National Guard's offensive near Mariupol.
