The National Guard of Ukraine, which defends the Pokrovsk sector, has reported new Russian activities toward Dobropillia. According to the report, the enemy is clearing minefields and actively using unmanned aerial vehicles to facilitate the movement of small assault groups. These groups are being directed toward the town located directly north of the ruins of Pokrovsk. In recent weeks, Pokrovsk has been the site of intense fighting, and now Russian forces are attempting to expand their control using such tactics. The combination of mine clearance and drone usage indicates an effort to create corridors and weaken Ukrainian defenses before an attack. Ukrainian forces continue to monitor the situation and are prepared to repel any enemy attempts.
