Details: The 7th Rapid Response Corps said that in an effort to intensify the offensive in the Pokrovsk agglomeration, Russian forces are increasing the amount of long-range artillery.

Quote from the 7th corps: "Ukrainian units forced the enemy to slow its advance, so the Russians are stepping up activity on the Hryshyne and Rodynske fronts.

Small-arms fighting is continuing in Hryshyne, particularly in the south-eastern part of the settlement. Ukrainian defence forces are operating with active support from UAV units and artillery.

The enemy is unsuccessfully redeploying additional assault groups to put pressure on Hryshyne, including with the use of motorbikes."

More details: DeepState also said Russian forces had advanced in Hryshyne and near Kotlyne.

The 7th corps said Ukrainian troops damaged and destroyed five pieces of Russian artillery near the cities of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad over the past 24 hours.

Despite constant Russian pressure, units in the area of responsibility of the 7th Rapid Response Corps continue to hold positions in the northern part of Pokrovsk.
