Amid a dense fog, Russia has intensified its military efforts to reinforce its presence in the embattled town of Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine. According to Ukraine's military reports, around 300 Russian soldiers are currently in the area.

The Ukrainian 7th paratrooper corps, via a Facebook statement, highlighted that Russia's goal remains unchanged: to reach Pokrovsk's northern borders and ultimately encircle the town.
