"The Defense Forces of Ukraine continue to perform tasks to contain the enemy on the designated lines. Units of the Air Assault Forces Group, assault units, Unmanned Systems Forces, Navy, SSO, SBU, National Guard, and National Police are involved in the defense operation," the summary states.
As reported, over the past week, the total personnel losses of the enemy amounted to 446 people. "This is 30% more than in the previous period. The increase in losses is due to the full involvement of the operational reserve - three regiments of the 76th Air Assault Division of the Russian Federation," the summary says.
"An operation is underway to provide air cover for ground logistics routes on the approaches to the Pokrovsk agglomeration. Thanks to coordinated actions, Ukrainian units destroy almost 100% of enemy air targets that try to approach these routes," the summary notes.
About the situation in Pokrovsk
"The enemy shows the greatest activity on the western outskirts of the city. With the forces of units of the 76th Air Assault Division, the enemy is trying to break through in the direction of Hryshyne, northwest of Pokrovsk. To do this, it intends to move in several directions at once," the 7th Corps of the Air Assault Forces reported.
The Defense Forces, as reported, "counter these attempts by cutting off probable enemy advance routes and striking them with available forces and means, including artillery and FPV drones."

"The enemy is increasing pressure on the southeastern districts of the city. Isolated cases of enemy infiltration are recorded on the approaches to "upper" Myrnohrad. But Ukrainian soldiers, in particular, fighters of the 38th Marine Brigade, detect and eliminate the enemy," the 7th Corps of the Air Assault Forces noted.
The Defense Forces, as indicated, "continue measures to stabilize and expand the logistics corridor to Myrnohrad." "In the areas of Svitlo and Rivne, isolated appearances of enemy groups are recorded, which are promptly destroyed," the Air Assault Forces added.
