Russian troops occupy another village in Dnipropetrovsk region - DeepState

The Russian army launched an assault on another settlement in Dnipropetrovsk Region - the village of Novopavlovka. According to DeepState analysts, the occupants were able to take advantage of the dense fog to stealthily set up a pontoon crossing between Dachnoye and Yalta and transfer about ten units of armoured vehicles.

According to analysts, the Russian paratroopers were detected too late: the equipment and infantry had already been dispersed in the central and southern parts of Novopavlovka. However, by the evening, the Ukrainian defenders had destroyed at least one BMP and one enemy tank. The fate of the rest of the equipment is still being clarified.

The defence forces continue mopping up the territory and eliminating Russian units that have infiltrated into the village. Analysts stress that this is already the second entry of Russian equipment into Novopavlovka, which indicates that we are not talking about "two or three" soldiers, but about a full-fledged offensive group.

Meanwhile, the Pokrovskoye direction remains the epicentre of the fighting in Donetsk region. Russian forces are trying to encircle Pokrovsk from several directions and are moving additional forces there for this purpose.
