In Myrnohrad, our units hold defensive positions and destroy Russian occupiers attempting to approach the settlement. New logistical routes are being created to Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad to provide the Ukrainian troops with everything necessary and organize timely evacuation.
This is reported by the military grouping 'East'.
Defense and Combat Actions
The defense forces of Ukraine in the area of responsibility of the Vostok Forces continue to withstand strong enemy pressure. In the last day, our defenders repelled 101 assault attacks by Russian troops.
Ukrainian troops are active in the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration, where the enemy is suffering significant losses. In the Pokrovsk direction, Ukrainian forces thwarted 58 assault and offensive actions of the occupiers, eliminating 174 of them, of which 132 are irrecoverable. Also, three vehicles, three pieces of special equipment, and four drones were destroyed. Eight enemy personnel shelters were hit, as well as a tank, two cars, and a motorcycle were damaged.
Territory Control
The defense of Pokrovsk continues: Ukrainian defenders control the northern part of the city and conduct search-and-assault operations to eliminate the enemy in urban areas.
In Myrnohrad, our units hold the defensive lines and destroy the enemy at the approaches to the city.
“Additional logistical routes to Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad are being organized to ensure our units have everything they need and for timely evacuation,” the statement says.
Overall, in the area of responsibility of the Vostok Forces, the enemy continues to suffer significant losses: in the last day, 479 occupiers were eliminated. A total of 927 drones of various types and 122 other weapons and equipment were destroyed, including eight tanks and 17 armored vehicles.
The defense forces are purposefully destroying not only enemy infantry but also drone operators: during the day, 31 crews of Russian unmanned aerial systems were hit.
Units of rocket troops and artillery completed 1269 fire tasks.
The aviation of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck a building near Siversk, from which enemy UAV operators were active. Army aviation also destroyed an enemy logistical route near Novoserhiyivka, where constant movement of personnel and concentrations of drone operators were noted.
It was previously mentioned that Ukrainian forces in Myrnohrad are effectively in conditions of operational encirclement. While the units still have some maneuvering space in the city, stable logistics and supply of provisions are under threat due to the enemy’s fire control and dominance in the sky.
The situation in the region remains tense. The struggle for control over Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad continues, and Ukrainian forces are doing everything possible to reliably deter the aggressor and maintain territorial integrity.
