According to Ukrinform, the Pokrovsk City Military Administration reported that on Facebook.

“The situation in the city is worsening due to the ongoing Russian aggression. On the previous day, the enemy launched an attack on the eastern part of the city at 10:50 causing a fire in a private residential building. Fortunately, no casualties were reported. Earlier, at 9:03, an electric line was severed in the central part of Pokrovsk due to shelling,” the post reads.
