Details: Troops from the 425th Skelia (Rock) Assault Regiment and other units are conducting raids south of the railway to set up ambushes and destroy Russian forces, the military said.

Quote: "Clashes continue in the central part of Pokrovsk. Over the past 24 hours, assault units have wiped out 21 Russians.

FPV drone operators are working on enemy targets in the city – enemy personnel and equipment that the Russians are attempting to conceal among urban buildings after moving into Pokrovsk."

Details: The military said that Russian forces continue advancing into the northern part of the city, attempting to concentrate there and lay the groundwork for further offensive actions, including by setting up satellite communications. However, the defence forces detect such activity and disrupt it.
