The Russians are approaching Pokrovsk – GVA

Russian troops are closing in on Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, and the city’s residents have been urged to evacuate. The enemy is located 11 kilometers outside the city. At the same time, almost 60 thousand residents remain in the community. Before the full invasion, about 86 thousand people lived in the community of Pokrovskaya.

Minister for Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories Irina Vereshchuk called for the evacuation of residents not only of Mirnograd, but also of Pokrovsk and Selidovoy.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces confirmed the destruction of a bridge in the Kursk region

Ukrainian aviation destroyed another bridge in the Kursk region. This was announced by the commander of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Nikolai Oleshchuk. Thus, in the zone of activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the south of the Kursk region, only one of the three bridges in the entire Seym remained undamaged – in the village of Karizh.

Kyiv was attacked by drones, ballistic and cruise missiles

On Sunday morning, Russian troops used ballistic weapons and drones to strike Kyiv. The enemy attack, which took place at approximately 05.00, was repulsed. “Most likely, they used North Korean ballistic missiles of the KN-23 type. And again, the forces and means of our air defense did not allow the enemy to achieve their goal and hit Kyiv,” KMVA reported. Two hours after the attempt to launch a ballistic strike, the enemy sent cruise missiles to the capital. All enemy targets were destroyed by air defense.

Russian troops shelled Mirnograd twice, killing two people

Russian troops shelled Mirnograd in the Donetsk region this morning and afternoon, killing an 83-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man. Another woman was injured. Six private houses were also damaged in the city.

In the Rostov region of the Russian Federation, an oil depot was set on fire due to a drone attack.

The Ukrainian military hit another important target of the Russian invaders in the Rostov region, the General Staff reported. It was noted that the Defense Forces attacked the Kavkaz plant, where oil and oil products are stored, which are also supplied for the needs of the occupying army of the Russian Federation.

Russia has moved thousands of military personnel from Ukraine to the Kursk region
