Defense Forces repel sudden attack on Pokrovsk, enemy attempts to break through in fog using armored vehicles

Russian troops used armored vehicles to launch a sudden attack on Pokrovsk in foggy weather, but the Defense Forces detected and eliminated them.

This was reported on television by Ruslan Muzychuk, a National Guard spokesman, according to Ukrinform.

“The weather conditions are currently foggy, especially in the morning and often during daylight hours. Accordingly, we see that the enemy tried to use armored vehicles for an unexpected attack on Pokrovsk, and the fact that they were detected and destroyed in such weather is a great credit to all the Defense Forces,” Muzychuk said.

He said that the Ukrainian military continues offensive operations in more than 15 settlements around Pokrovsk.

According to the National Guard spokesman, in recent days, the enemy has been trying to storm the Pokrovsk, Kostiantynivka, Oleksandrohrad, and Lyman sectors.
