Russian troops continue their advance in Krasnoarmeysk (Ukrainian name — Pokrovsk), where, according to military sources, heavy fighting is underway in the southern districts of the city. At the same time, evacuations of civilians are taking place, including residents of the Lazurny neighborhood.

Forward units of the Russian army have reached the outskirts of the settlement of Molodetskoye, while street-by-street clearing operations continue inside Krasnoarmeysk. The main pockets of Ukrainian resistance are reported near the railway station and in the Chunishino area.

Clashes are also ongoing for control of a key highway leading toward Novopavlovka, from where Ukrainian forces continue shelling Russian positions.

The situation remains tense on the approaches to Krasnoarmeysk. The village of Udachnoye is now under Russian control, while fierce battles are taking place near Troyanda. Russian sources reported the destruction of two Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicles and one tank within the past day. Both sides are actively deploying FPV drones.

Analysts note that if Russian forces succeed in linking flanks between Krasnoarmeysk and Rodinskoye, the Ukrainian grouping in this sector risks being caught in an operational encirclement.

Meanwhile, movements of a Ukrainian armored convoy have been observed along Shmidta Street heading toward Dimitrov (Ukrainian name — Mirnograd). The purpose of this maneuver remains unclear.
