Quote: "Currently, 18,000 people remain in Pokrovsk hromada, including 99 children. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.] In the city of Pokrovsk itself, there are 11,500 people and 51 children. The city is open for entry and exit, and evacuation is ongoing. The city’s closure has been discussed – that applies to the direction from Selydove – the areas and roads designated by the military."

Details: Filashkin said some shops in the city are open, as are branches of Ukrposhta, the Ukrainian national postal service.

However, there are problems with the supply of water, gas and electricity, as Russian forces strike Pokrovsk daily with ballistic missiles and FPV drones. Local authorities are urging residents to evacuate to safer locations.
