Russian forces are conducting assault operations on several fronts in the Pokrovsk agglomeration.
This was reported on Telegram by the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces.
The assaults are taking place on multiple directions within the Pokrovsk agglomeration, using light vehicles, ATVs, and infantry groups.
The Russian forces are focusing their main efforts on advancing in the areas of Hryshyne and toward Rodynske, attempting so-called “small pincer” maneuvers and pushing along the flanks.
Defense forces within the 7th Corps’ area of responsibility are repelling daily attacks on Hryshyne. Rifle firefights continue in the center of the settlement, while Ukrainian units hold back Russian forces and block their advance from the east. At the same time, Russian forces increasingly try to push westward, avoiding a direct entry into Hryshyne.
On the northern outskirts of Pokrovsk, Ukrainian troops are blocking Russian forces’ advances and holding designated defensive lines.
In the Myrnohrad–Rodynske direction, units in the 7th Corps’ defense sector are destroying and halting the Russian forces in close coordination with the 1st Corps of the National Guard “Azov.”
There is an observed increase in the use of GABs (guided bombs) and strike drones across the Pokrovsk agglomeration. Russian forces are actively exploiting the unfavorable weather conditions of recent days to cover movements and accumulate forces.
Despite Russian forces’ attempts to concentrate artillery, the Defense Forces are focused on weakening their fire capabilities. In particular, over the past two days, the 147th Separate Artillery Brigade of the 7th Air Assault Corps destroyed or damaged four Russian guns in the Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad areas.
