SBU detained a woman in Novohrodivka, Donetsk Oblast who was acting as an informant for Russian military intelligence, scouting locations of Ukrainian defense lines and artillery positions in the Pokrovsk axis.

The Security Service (SBU) detained an enemy informant in Donetsk region who is believed to have been tipping the Russians on the locations of Ukrainian defense lines in the Pokrovsk axis.

Russia's military intelligence remotely recruited a Novohrodivka resident to gather data on fortified areas and combat positions of artillery.

The informant used a chat messenger with a liaison who was a soldier from the Russian occupation force fighting in Ukraine's east.

The culprit has been charged with unauthorized dissemination of information on the movement or locations of army units and faces up to eight years in prison.

Everything is very grim on the Pokrovsk front, without exaggeration. Battles are ongoing for Hrodivka within the village itself.

Commander Oleksandr Syrskyi may have bet that an asymmetric attack on a weakly defended section of the border could force Russia to redeploy its troops from Donetsk

Ruslan Muzychuk stated that Russian aviation activity is high on the Pokrovsk and Toretsk axes, utilizing GBUs and conducting artillery and infantry assaults.
