Enemy seeks to cut overland connection between Myrnohrad and Pokrovsk
The nature of the enemy’s actions indicates an intention to cut the overland connection between Myrnohrad and Pokrovsk in the near future. The Russians aim to encircle the city by advancing towards the settlements of Rivne and Svitle.

Four occupiers captured
In addition, in the north-east of Myrnohrad, the 38th Separate Marine Brigade named after Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi took four Russian occupiers prisoner as they tried to storm the city. Three of the detainees are former convicts who were released after signing military contracts. According to the Russians, before the assault they spent four days living in the basement of a building in a neighbouring settlement. The assault troops were not provided with either food or water.
After their detention, our defenders provided the prisoners with all the necessary conditions and assistance in accordance with international humanitarian law.
