Details: It was reported that through direct contact and with the support of strike assets, all Russian strongpoints were destroyed. 

Over the course of two weeks, assault groups swept house by house and raised the Ukrainian flag over the settlement, the military added.

Meanwhile, the DeepState map still marks part of the settlement as occupied.

Background: 

• In April, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi reported the liberation of about 16 square kilometres near the settlements of Udachne, Kotlyne and Shevchenko. 
• The Pokrovsk front remains one of the hottest and the situation there is changing dynamically; on 1 September the defence forces stopped 46 Russian assault actions.
