The adversary has intensified efforts to infiltrate the northern part of Pokrovsk above the railway line using assault groups. However, the Defense Forces are thwarting these attempts. In particular, as previously reported, the 25th Separate Sicheslav Airborne Brigade of the 7th Air Assault Corps recently repelled an attack by more than 20 Russian troops and destroyed an assault group. More details on the operation that disrupted the enemy’s offensive against the positions of the 25th Brigade via the link.
The enemy is also trying to conduct active operations in the industrial zone on the northwestern outskirts of the city. Their objective is to build up forces for a further advance toward Hryshyne. The Defense Forces, however, are acting preemptively, employing strike UAVs and artillery to prevent the enemy from concentrating forces and assets or launching offensive actions.
The current cold weather is complicating combat operations for both sides. Ukrainian units are being provided with the necessary equipment to maintain combat effectiveness in low temperatures, including the organized delivery of warm clothing and individual heating devices to troops. At the same time, logistics in the combat zone remain challenging. Heavy drones and ground robotic systems are being used for resupply.
