Defense Forces clear central part of Hryshyne as intense fighting continues – Air Assault Forces

According to Ukrinform, the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on Telegram and released footage of combat operations.

Despite the difficult operational situation, Ukraine's Defense Forces continue to hold back Russian pressure in the Pokrovsk agglomeration.

Units within the area of responsibility of the 7th Air Assault Corps are holding their designated positions and carrying out active search-and-strike operations in Hryshyne. In doing so, the Defense Forces are disrupting attempts by the invaders to capture the settlement. In particular, fighters from the Skelia unit of the 425th regiment, together with the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade, are conducting clearing operations in the central part of Hryshyne.

Russian forces are trying to establish positions within the built-up area, but Ukrainian units are systematically detecting and destroying enemy groups in order to completely push them out of the settlement.

At the same time, Skelia and the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade, in coordination with adjacent units, are actively striking the enemy with drones in the northwestern part of Pokrovsk. The enemy is attempting to use this area as a staging ground to concentrate personnel before advancing further toward Hryshyne.

As Ukrinform previously reported, soldiers of the 25th Separate Sicheslav Airborne Brigade of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a warehouse of Russian drones in Pokrovsk using a drone.
