Defense forces continue to hold the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration, where the enemy has concentrated most of its troops. The occupiers, taking advantage of the fog, tried to advance to the center of Pokrovsk, but without success. Due to the significant losses, the russian army is forced to deploy operational reserves.
This is reported in the message of the East Operational Command.
In recent days, the occupants have been trying to use the weather conditions for assaults.
"Using the thick fog, the enemy made an attempt to advance into the central part of Pokrovsk. However, these actions were unsuccessful - the enemy is being eliminated in the city's urban area," the military said.
The defense forces hold the northern part of the city and key positions south of the railroad.
Unable to break through the defense with frontal attacks, the enemy tried to go around. In particular, small groups tried to reach the village of Hryshyne (northwest of the city), but all were destroyed.
In the area of Myrnohrad, the enemy is using similar tactics - attempts to infiltrate in small groups.
"These attempts are detected in time, and the enemy is neutralized. Ukrainian units are confidently holding the defense in the city," the East Operational Command said.
