The Ukrainian government has ordered the evacuation of families with children from Pokrovsk, a key logistics hub in the Donetsk region, as Russian forces advance closer to the city. Donetsk Governor Vadym Filashkin emphasized the need for "compulsory" evacuation, noting that over 53,000 residents, including nearly 4,000 children, remain in the town. Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister also urged evacuations from Myrnograd and Selidove, stating that civilians should move to safer regions. As Ukraine continues its incursions into Russia, President Zelensky claimed success in the Kursk region, targeting strategic Russian bridges.
