The Avdiivka-Pokrovsk sector has remained the probable main effort of russian forces over the last 72 hours, with a high level of operational activity. Russian forces made minor gains, in the northern part of this sector toward the villages of Sokil and Yevhenivka. On a parallel axis approximately 3 km further south russian forces are likely approaching the outskirts of the village of Novoselivka Persha. Further south russian forces have made no significant gains despite heavy attacks against Ukrainian positions west of the village of Netailove, astride the E50 highway, the UK Defense Intelligence reports.
Russian attacks against the village of Nevelske have reportedly been repelled and the village likely remains in Ukrainian hands. Over the next week this sector is likely to remain an area of significant operational focus as russian forces attempt to maintain operational tempo in the face of heavy losses.
