Details: It is reported that the defence forces have wiped out 314 Russians in Pokrovsk and left another 71 wounded since the beginning of the month.

The appearance of the Russians north of Pokrovsk has been recorded. Several Russian infantry troops attempted to infiltrate and establish themselves at one of the agricultural facilities. The Russians were killed, the Ukrainian military noted.

It is stated that the Russians aim in the short term to reach the settlement of Hryshyne, located north-west of Pokrovsk. The Russians are trying to bypass the city due to their inability to break through the defence of Pokrovsk and use the city as a bridgehead for this plan.

At the same time, the Russians continue unsuccessful attempts to tie down the defence of Myrnohrad.

In recent days, Ukrainian soldiers in Myrnohrad have wiped out a Russian military reconnaissance group. Such Russian units move in the second echelon after sabotage groups and monitor the execution of the first echelon's tasks, the 7th Corps specifies.

An increase in the number of Russian attempts to infiltrate Myrnohrad from the side of the town of Krasnyi Lyman is being recorded. Ukrainian soldiers are killing the Russians on the approaches to the city.
