The fighting continues in approximately half of the large village of Shevchenko, located three kilometers from the outskirts of Pokrovske (Russian sources report control over half of Shevchenko).
An advance has also begun from Shevchenko in a northwestern direction towards the village of Pishchane, which is less than a kilometer away.
This direction clearly indicates an attempt to encircle Pokrovske from the rear.
On the southern side, there are also attacks in the area of the village of Novyi Trud (which appears to be practically captured) and in Dachenske.
