Russian forces from the «Center» grouping are steadily advancing along almost the entire front line, with the fiercest fighting currently unfolding on the Krasnoarmeisk (Pokrovsk), Oktyabrsky, and Dnepropetrovsk axes.

Military sources report that on the Krasnoarmeisk front, Russian troops continue to exert intense pressure on Ukrainian defenses near the settlement of Grishino. The Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) are conducting sustained strikes with high-explosive aerial bombs, disrupting Ukrainian supply routes and complicating troop movements toward the frontline.

Within Krasnoarmeisk itself — known in Ukraine as Pokrovsk — Russian units captured four buildings in the past 24 hours, underscoring the ferocity of ongoing urban combat.

Further south, on the Oktyabrsky axis, Russian forces are pushing eastward and northeast of Pankovka. The advance is supported by a series of massive airstrikes targeting Ukrainian positions around the village of Shakhovo.

On the Dnepropetrovsk front, two separate Russian groupings are driving the offensive. Units from the «Center» formation are attacking Novopavlovka from the east and south, seeking to break through Ukrainian defensive lines. At the same time, troops from the «East» grouping are assaulting positions west of Verbovoe, a settlement whose liberation was reported on October 1.
