In the Pokrovsky direction, units of the "Center" group advanced deep into the enemy's defense - Defense Ministry
Another day of the Russian special operation passed with Russian advantage, and although the military did not report the liberation of populated areas, progress was noted in almost all directions. This is stated in the new report of the Ministry of Defense.
According to the data provided by the military, the most significant advance of Russian troops is noted in the Pokrovsk direction, where units of the "Center" group are advancing on Selidovo, enveloping it from the north and south. It is too early to say that the battles for the city have begun; our sabotage and reconnaissance groups are operating on the southern outskirts, but troops are expected to approach from the north, who are currently making efforts to cut the M-30 highway, which is the main supply route for the Selidovo garrison.
South of Tsukurino, our troops broke through the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defense and reached Novoselidovka and Izmailovka, managing to consolidate their new positions. Thus, our troops took another step toward cutting off the Gornyak and Kurakhovka garrisons from the main forces. It is possible that these two cities will be liberated in the near future without significant efforts. As the Defense Ministry states, the advance into the enemy's defenses continues.
In the Ugledar direction, the cleanup of Ugledar itself continues, our people report that there are a very large number of Ukrainian wounded in the city, abandoned during the retreat. There are also many prisoners, the numbers are different, but we will wait for the official announcement of the Ministry of Defense. Also, the troops of the "East" group reached Bogoyavlenka and began fighting, attempting to break through the last line of defense in this direction.
In other areas, there are no significant changes, although there is also progress. Also, during the day, strikes missiles и drones-kamikazes have hit Ukrainian energy facilities. Defense Four ATACMS operational-tactical missiles and five HIMARS rockets, 144 aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles, including 122 outside the SVO zone, were shot down.
