Another portion of enemy equipment was destroyed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the southeastern part of Pokrovsk.

According to available information, the units of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division of the Russian Federation were operating in the area.
The enemy’s goal was to accumulate forces for further pressure on the northern outskirts of the city.
In the future, the enemy considered storming the village of Hryshyne, but the attempt was thwarted.
Recently, near Pokrovsk, the soldiers of the 7th Rapid Response Corps destroyed an Osa surface-to-air missile system and a cluster of Russian armored vehicles.
The days are pretty much gone when the second army in Ukraine moved with tanks and APCs.
