Russia intensifies its offensive in eastern Ukraine, threatening the strategic city of Pokrovsk. Simultaneously, Russia conducts overnight drone attacks across Ukraine, causing damage and casualties.
Russia continues its relentless offensive in eastern Ukraine, tightening its grip on key strategic locations. The city of Pokrovsk , a vital road and rail hub, faces imminent capture, potentially allowing Russia to launch further attacks in multiple directions. The fall of Pokrovsk would be a significant blow to Ukrainian defenses and consolidate Russia's gains in the war-torn region.
This comes as Russia unleashed an overnight drone barrage across Ukraine, inflicting damage and injuries on civilian infrastructure.The drones targeted various regions, including Sumy, Odesa, and Cherkasy. In Odesa, a hospital and a grain warehouse were damaged, and four civilians, including a doctor, were injured. The impact of the drone attacks was felt across the city, with disruptions to electricity supplies and damage to residential buildings and administrative structures. Meanwhile, Russia claims to have taken control of the village of Novovasylivka in the Donetsk region, further extending its territorial control. The ongoing conflict has taken a heavy toll on civilian life, with Pokrovsk's population dwindling from 60,000 before the war to just 7,000 residents. Ukrainian forces are valiantly defending the city, but the situation remains dire, with supply lines under constant threat. The war, nearing its three-year anniversary, shows no signs of abating, with both sides engaging in fierce battles and launching retaliatory strikes
