Ukraine warns Russia advancing fast on key eastern city as Moscow claims failed incursion attempt

Authorities are warning civilians in the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk to evacuate urgently as Russian forces rapidly advance. The military administration in the town of Myrnohrad, less than 3 miles from the frontline, has urged people to leave immediately as the enemy is advancing faster than expected. Nearly 59,000 residents, including those in Pokrovsk City, Myrnohrad town, and surrounding villages, are affected. Despite daily attacks, some people are reluctant to evacuate, but those who hesitated are now leaving en masse. The situation in Pokrovsk is now considered the hottest front of the war. Meanwhile, Russian forces claim to have repelled a Ukrainian incursion attempt in the Bryansk region.
