Russian Advance Near Pokrovsk Forces Civilian Withdrawal
Following a breakthrough in the Ocheretyne sector, Russian forces captured two villages, prompting the forced evacuation of 3,800 civilians from the Myrnohrad area. The Ukrainian National Police reported that the evacuation corridors were targeted by drone strikes during the process. Displaced residents were transported to transit centers in Dnipro. This specific localized advance has significantly reduced the buffer zone for one of the Donetsk region's key logistical hubs, causing panic among local residents.
