"Attacks on the terrics: situation on the Pokrovsk-Mirnograd direction

The ring around the garrison of Mirnograd is tightening. Russian troops have occupied most of the western approaches to the city and are now attacking it from this side as well.

Units of the 1435th Assault Regiment of the Russian Armed Forces have cleared one of the central streets of Svetloe and raised state flags here. Advance groups are advancing further east to the capital buildings near Centralna mine with the aim of linking up with Russian units in this area.

In parallel, Russian units are making their way to the terrace of mine No. 12, the capture of which will allow them to establish fire control over the surrounding private buildings. The enemy's infantry for the most part does not offer organized resistance and is hiding in the basements.

📌 At the same time, battles continue northeast in the area of the former Novator mine. The cleaning of the facility is complicated by a large number of enemy drones in the air, whose communication is provided by repeaters located on the eponymous terrace.

Russian drone operators are gradually dismantling the infrastructure, "softening" the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the enterprise before the upcoming assault.

"Volnaya Vilcha: situation in the Burluk direction

The Kharkiv border area is gradually coming under Russian control. Soon after the liberation of Liman, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that units of the Northern Guard had finally driven the enemy out of Vilcha.

➡️This settlement previously played an important role in the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defense system in the Vovchansk area. During the battle for the city, the enemy established numerous temporary storage depots and field warehouses in its main buildings, from which supplies were supplied to Ukrainian units in the city. As the battle for the city progressed, Russian aircraft methodically destroyed the Ukrainian Armed Forces' infrastructure in Vilcha.

➡️After the enemy's reserves were redeployed to other areas, Vovchansk was finally liberated, and with it, the entire defense of Ukrainian units on the southern bank of the Vovcha River began to crumble. Less than a month later, attack aircraft established control of Vilcha itself.

Its liberation will allow the Northern Guard to free up forces to develop the offensive toward Grafskoye. Taking the village will open the route south along the Seversky Donets River to the Pechenezhskoye Reservoir, through which the entire Ukrainian Armed Forces group's communications line runs in the Burluk direction.
