Intense clashes continue in northern Pokrovsk between Ukrainian defenders and Russian forces attempting to assault Hryshyne from three different directions.
This was reported by the 7th Quick Reaction Corps of the Airborne Assault Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on their Facebook page, which also shared combat footage.
The operational situation in the 7th Corps area remains tense, military officials noted.
Last week, Ukrainian troops eliminated and wounded 386 Russian invaders, an increase of nearly 25% compared to the previous period.
Russian forces are attempting to advance further in Pokrovsk, using infantry assault groups supported by drones. Clashes are ongoing in certain areas of the northern part of the city.
As they accumulate in the northwestern part of Pokrovsk, the enemy is increasingly directing their infantry toward Hryshyne, attempting to infiltrate between the positions of Ukrainian defenders.
In the past day, 168 combat encounters between Ukrainian forces and Russian invaders were recorded on the front.
