Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[NewsFront] 23:00 There is an advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the area of the settlement of Kremknaya Balka and the settlement of Novoselidovka.

21:20 Information about the assault in Selidovo:

The fifth day of the assault on one of the key cities of the Pokrovsk agglomeration is coming to an end. The enemy, out of fear, is already preparing to defend Pokrovsk and even Pavlograd.

Enemy: Syrsky has completely lost control over the situation in the Pokrovsk and Kurakhovsk directions.

Highway E-50 to the fork to Pokrovsk. We got a little closer to the fork. The highway is under constant fire 24/7, the enemy will not be able to physically get through it (if they are lucky, of course). We are standing on the approaches to the fork, if we get there, we will cut off the Pokrovsk-Selidovo connection.

Air raid to the settlement of Vishnevoe. Just like E-50, under constant fire. Retreating along it is not the best option for the AFU, besides, in the settlement itself our assault forces are actively fighting.

City limits: 11th microdistrict, practically below us, the enemy is retreating in a hurry to a one-story building on the western outskirts of the city. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trapped, all attempts to escape from the city are lethal due to the fact that the only route (to Vishnevoe is not an option, not at all) is the E-50 retreat to Pokrovsk under heavy fire.

The area south of Selidovo, the village of Novodmitrovka, Vishnevo. Assault operations continue. We can say for sure that full control over the eastern part of Novodmitrovka has been established, the flag of the Russian Federation has been hoisted.
