Pokrovsk sector most challenging on Eastern Front – military spox

There have been 169 combat engagements on the Eastern Front, with the heaviest concentration of attacks in the Pokrovsk sector, where 40 assaults have been recorded.

This was reported by Lieutenant Conel Nazar Voshyn, Spokesperson for the Khortytsia erational Strategic Group of Tros, according to Ukrinform, citing ArmyInform.

According to Voshyn, the situation remains consistently difficult in Chasiv Yar, where two assault attempts were repelled.

"On the outskirts of Chasiv Yar and in the town itself, the enemy, particularly the Russian 98th Airborne Division, has been attempting assault erations for nearly a year. Our defenders have already defeated them twice. However, they have since replenished their personnel and equipment," Voshyn explained.

The tactics of the Russian paratroers remain unchanged, added Lieutenant Conel Voshyn. They attempt to cross the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas canal, gather in ruined buildings and basements, and then launch attacks.
