Russian Troops Push Forward in Pokrovsk, Oktyabrskoye and Novopavlovka
Russian forces advance across several fronts, pushing into Pokrovsk, Oktyabrskoye and Novopavlovka, cutting supply routes and threatening encirclement of key positions.
Units of the Russian «Center» battlegroup continue advancing across several sections of the front, reporting progress in every direction. Russian forces are pushing into Oktyabrskoye and Novopavlovka, as well as deeper into the urban area that includes Pokrovsk and Mirnograd.
In Pokrovsk, Russian troops are increasing their numbers and moving into the western districts. Their advance creates a threat of encirclement for Rovnoye, with the broader goal of establishing a fortified strongpoint that could cut off any potential withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Mirnograd.
Fierce fighting is underway in Novopavlovka, where Russian assault groups are pressing Ukrainian positions with support from armored vehicles. According to available reports, Russian forces have moved along the T0428 highway in the direction of Mezhovaya. Heavy clashes are also unfolding north of Ivanovka, where Russian units are attempting to sever supply routes used by Ukrainian troops.
In Oktyabrskoye, Russian assault detachments continue clearing residential blocks and pushing deeper into the settlement. The eastern part of the village is already under Russian control, and Russian fighters are striking Ukrainian positions on the left bank of the Kazenny Torets River. At the same time, the offensive continues north of the area, near Sofiyevka.
