Situation in Myrnohrad
According to the unit, Russian forces failed to break into the city. Ukrainian troops are managing to maintain logistics.
"We are noting enemy plans to attack Myrnohrad from the direction of Hrodivka using armored vehicles. Organic units of the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Air Assault Forces are engaged in operations that improve the defenders’ tactical posture in the Pokrovsk agglomeration and enable them to carry out assigned missions," the statement said.
Myrnohrad area
Several brigades of the corps are carrying out different tasks to hold back Russian forces near Myrnohrad.
- One unit is clearing small enemy groups of two to four troops attempting to enter the city via the south-eastern outskirts; Russian movements are being adjusted by their command using reconnaissance drones.
- Another brigade is defending the village of Krasnyi Lyman north of Myrnohrad, where Russian forces aim to establish a foothold for an advance from the north.
- Notably, according to Ukrainska Pravda, citing military personnel in the Pokrovsk sector, since at least November 6, the Russian army has been pulling forces into Pokrovsk, effectively encircled by drones, using motorcycles and pickup trucks and deploying mortars there.
- Ukrainska Pravda reports that attempts by Ukrainian special units to clear the city came too late and did not change the balance of forces in Pokrovsk.
