Defense Forces operating in the area of responsibility of the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Airborne Assault Forces are conducting search-and-strike missions, holding back the enemy's attempts to restore logistics, and disrupting the transfer of reinforcements.
Ukrainian forces of unmanned systems, assault and airborne assault groups, as well as fighters from the Special Operations Forces, Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), National Guard, National Police, and other structures are working to identify and destroy Russian forces inside the city and on its outskirts.
According to the military, Russian units have significantly reduced their activity and movement, trying to minimize losses and buy time for reinforcements to arrive.
At the same time, the enemy is attempting to restore logistics through the southern outskirts of Pokrovsk. In this section, Russian troops made several attempts to transfer personnel and equipment, but Ukrainian forces successfully blocked these efforts.
In the first days of November alone, 71 Russian occupiers were eliminated in Pokrovsk, and another 36 were wounded.
In recent days, Russian soldiers have repeatedly tried to infiltrate the Hryshyne settlement, disguising themselves as civilians, but these attempts were detected and stopped in time.
The situation around Myrnohrad remains tense. After failed assaults on the city from the east, Russian forces, according to Ukrainian intelligence, may shift the direction of their attacks in an effort to find weak spots in the defense.
Situation on the frontline
Over the past 24 hours, 169 combat clashes were recorded along the entire frontline. Ukrainian troops continue to actively destroy the offensive potential of Russian occupiers both on the frontlines and deep behind enemy lines.
It’s worth noting that overall Russian losses over the past day amounted to 1,170 personnel.
Ukrainian forces also destroyed one tank, two armored vehicles, 13 artillery systems, and one air defense system.
Additionally, 248 tactical-level UAVs, 65 vehicles, and two pieces of special equipment belonging to the occupiers were neutralized.
