Details: The military said that for a further assault on "upper" Myrnohrad, Russian forces continue to amass heavy equipment in the area of Novohrodivka.

Working together with the 1st National Guard Corps Azov, the 7th Corps' soldiers are blocking Russian forces along the line of "Myrnohrad's eastern outskirts – Krasnyi Lyman – Rodynske".

In Pokrovsk, Russian forces have concentrated their main efforts on occupying Hryshyne. Taking advantage of unfavourable weather conditions, they are accumulating light equipment and personnel in the area of the industrial zone in the city's north-west. The Russians are then trying to advance towards Hryshyne along several routes.

The statement said that in recent days a Russian group managed to infiltrate Hryshyne, but Ukrainian defenders wiped them out through coordinated action.

Overall, in the 7th Corps' area of responsibility, Russian forces have significantly increased the use of various types of UAVs. They are more actively launching Molniya drones as "mother" UAVs carrying two FPV drones, which then strike the target in a triple attack. Cases have also been recorded of fibre-optic drones being used, reaching more than 20 km into the depth of Ukraine's defences.

The number of Russian tactical aircraft strikes is also rising. Over the past week, Russian forces dropped almost 360 guided aerial bombs on the Pokrovsk agglomeration, the military said, which is 20% more than the previous week.
