On October 21, website Donbas.Realii, citing the report of InformNapalm international volunteer community on the location of areas of responsibility of the Russian 1st and 2nd Army Corps in the occupied Donbas, published an analysis and map of the ceasefire violations.
According to the analysis, provocations and shelling of Ukrainian positions for the period from October 14 to 21 were mainly carried out by militants of the 100th Motorized Rifle Brigade (100 MRB, unit 08826), 11 Motorized Rifle Regiment (11 MRR, unit 08818) and 3rd Motorized Rifle Brigade (3 MRB, unit 08803) of the 1st Army Corps, which is deployed by the Russian Federation in the occupied part of the Ukrainian Donbas. These units occupy positions in the Donetsk-Yasynuvata-Horlivka agglomeration.
Additional information on these hybrid units, their personnel, weapons and equipment can be found in InformNapalm materials:

According to the information from the Joint Forces Operation, on October 21, the Russian armed forces violated the ceasefire in the Donbas three times. In Donetsk Oblast, near the towns of Avdiivka and Maryinka, the Ukrainian military also documented the flight of a Russian Orlan-10 drone along the demarcation line. The UAV was suppressed by means of EW.
Let us remind you that the Russian Orlan-10 UAV has repeatedly come under the scrutiny of InformNapalm international intelligence community. You can learn more about its use in the Donbas in the articles:

Volunteers: Russia Violating Ukraine’s Airspace Since 2014
As of 2020, InformNapalm volunteers have collected facts about the use of at least 8 different types of Russian UAVs in the Donbas, in particular: Granat-1, Granat-2, Granat-4, Forpost, Orlan-10, Eleron-3SV, Takhyon, and Zastava, as well as another type of secret Russian drones with an unknown name.
The Orlan-10 is also part of the Russian Leer-3 RB-341V system designed to suppress GSM-communication. The system is also able to replace cellular towers and send fake SMS to subscribers in order to mislead or exert psychological pressure.
