Russian troops have repelled all counterattacks by Ukrainian fighters and are continuing their clearing operation in Pokrovsk, according to military sources.

Reports indicate that Russian assault units have advanced deeper into the southern part of the city, consolidating their positions as intense urban fighting persists. Heavy clashes are also underway in Mirnograd, a nearby satellite town.

Sources emphasize that the situation for Ukrainian forces in this sector remains critical, with defensive lines steadily collapsing under the pressure of coordinated Russian assaults.

Additional field reports note that Russian units engaged in the Pokrovsk operation have driven Ukrainian fighters out of School No. 5, which had been fortified and used as a stronghold. The building was subsequently secured as Russian forces continued their methodical advance through the city.
