"I met with our warriors at the command post of the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine Azov, which is conducting a defensive operation in the Dobropillya sector, said the Ukrainian president, referring to a town about 20km (12 miles) from Pokrovsk. Russian forces had pushed further into Pokrovsk and its environs, though much of it remained beyond firm control of either side, mapping by the Ukrainian project DeepState indicated on Tuesday. The situation remains critical, said Deepstate, adding that in some districts Russian forces were digging in and building up positions."
"Ukrainian long-range drones attacked an industrial plant about 1,300km inside Russia at Sterlitamak, local officials said on Tuesday. The city administration reported an explosion at the Sterlitamak Petrochemical Plant that caused its water treatment facility to partially collapse, adding that the cause of the explosion was not known. The Ukrainian military general staff said there was considerable damage to the plant."
"Ukraine's military said it struck a Lukoil oil refinery at Kstovo in Russia's Nizhny Novgorod region east of Moscow. The extent of the damage was being assessed, it said. The Russian regional governor confirmed an attack by 20 drones near Kstovo. Russian military reservists will now have to guard oil refineries against Ukrainian drone strikes after Vladimir Putin signed a law on Tuesday extending their entanglement in the war effort."
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited troops at the command post of the 1st Corps of the National Guard Azov in the Dobropillya sector near Pokrovsk. Russian forces have pushed into Pokrovsk and surrounding areas, leaving much territory contested while some districts show Russian forces digging in and building positions. The Institute for the Study of War assessed continued Russian advances in the Pokrovsk direction even as Ukrainian forces liberated much of a Russian penetration on Dobropillya's eastern flank. Ukrainian long-range drones struck a petrochemical plant in Sterlitamak about 1,300km inside Russia and reportedly damaged its water treatment facility. Ukraine also reported a strike on a Lukoil refinery at Kstovo, and Russia moved to deploy reservists to guard oil refineries against drone attacks.
