Ukrainian troops strengthen tactical positions in Pokrovsk amidst ongoing hostilities
Ukrainian military units, including the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Air Assault Forces, have made significant advances in several strategic districts of the city of Pokrovsk, located in the Donetsk region.
This information has been confirmed through official sources, including social media posts from the Ukrainian Defense Forces, indicating an improved tactical situation for Ukrainian troops in the area.
As of 3:00 PM on November 1st, the situation remains tense and highly dynamic, with continuous developments.The circumstances point to active counteroffensive operations by Ukrainian units in the city.
Through targeted actions employing diversified methods of troop movement, Ukrainian forces have gained new positions and consolidated their advantages.
Additionally, Ukrainian forces are working to block enemy logistical routes to cut off their supply chains and capabilities for deployment.Overall, the 7th Rapid Response Corps reports that the enemy is under Ukrainian fire control, and the number of eliminated Russian invaders in Pokrovsk is steadily increasing.
Last week alone, 85 Russian soldiers were neutralized, bringing the total since the beginning of November to 1320, with 646 others injured or incapacitated.A particularly notable achievement is the successful parachute-free operation conducted in the Pokrovsk area.
This complex tactical operation required high synchronization among various defense units, including air defense, electronic warfare, signals, and drone units.
In conditions of immediate threat from the enemy, all measures were taken to ensure safe flight and landing operations.This operation followed a broader, comprehensive mission led by the Ukrainian Armed Forces commander Oleksandr Syrskiy, who confirmed that there is no encirclement or blockade of Pokrovsk or Mirnograd in the Donetsk region.
Instead, ongoing measures focus on destroying and displacing enemy forces through specialized operations involving the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), military intelligence (GUR), and special forces.According to Reuters, earlier this week, special forces from the Main Intelligence Directorate were deployed to Pokrovsk amid escalating hostilities to stabilize the situation.
Led by the head of GUR, Kyrylo Budanov, these stabilization activities continue to include extensive efforts to protect the city from further aggression and infiltration.
