MOSCOW (Reuters) -The Russian Defence Ministry said on Monday that its forces had advanced in the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk and had carried out massive strikes overnight on Ukrainian military-industrial sites.
Moscow said its forces were destroying what it described as surrounded Ukrainian formations near Pokrovsk’s railway station and industrial zone, and had entered the city’s Prigorodny area and dug in there.
The Defence Ministry said its overnight strikes had targeted a Ukrainian military airfield, a military equipment repair base and military-industrial facilities as well as gas infrastructure facilities that supported them.
Moscow said its troops had also ejected Kyiv’s troops from positions around another city, Kupiansk, Russian state news agencies cited the Defence Ministry as saying.
Reuters could not independently verify the battlefield reports.
