Russian saboteurs killed several civilians in Pokrovsk

This was reported on Facebook by the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Airborne Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Recently, an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group managed to penetrate the center of Pokrovsk. During the advance, unfortunately, the Russians resorted to violating international humanitarian law and killed several civilian residents of the city. This happened near the railway station.

The joint strike and search group of the Defense Forces discovered the enemy and eliminated the invaders, who were hiding in one of the train station premises at that moment.

As the military stressed, Pokrovske's defenses are currently reinforced with additional forces and equipment. Special groups are conducting constant screening of potential entry points and are patrolling the city intensively.

The military urged civilians still remaining in Pokrovsk not to move around the city unless absolutely necessary.

The situation in the 7th Corps’ zone of responsibility remains tense. The enemy wants to expand the “gray zone” around Pokrovsk. The invaders are trying to penetrate the city from several directions.

The military also published a video of the destruction of Russian DRGs in one of the premises of the railway station, other locations in the city, and on the approaches to Pokrovsk.

As the 7th Corps recalled, the Russians have significantly increased the number of KAB strikes on logistics using tactical aviation. On October 12, the Russians dropped 76 guided bombs on the Pokrovskaya agglomeration. Last week, the invaders again increased the number of KAB strikes throughout the agglomeration: 372 bombs on October 13-19, compared to 220 bombs on October 6-12.
