Update from the Pokrovsk direction (Part 1):

Over the past few days, Russian forces have made substantial progress on the tactical heights west of Pokrovsk, while the last streets of the city begin to come under Russian control.

North of Udachne, Russian forces advanced from the western part of the town to the western approaches to the Pokrovsk Coal Mine, capturing new positions along a treeline and a gulley. Other forces improved their positions along the treeline towards the eastern part of the mine. Heavy fighting continues on the approaches of this very important fortified node.

West of Pokrovsk, Russian forces broke through Ukrainian defences north of Kotlyne, capturing positions in the treelines to the north and northwest. They then went on to advance further northeast to the next treelines over on the tactical heights, while other forces pushed north from the railway line. Additionally, Russian forces captured numerous new treeline positions closer to Pokrovsk and made additional progress along the railway line to the south of Hryshyne, where they are beginning to outflank the Ukrainian positions in the rest of those treelines.

In northern Pokrovsk, under the cover of fog, additional Russian reinforcements were brought from the city centre to help the units who were struggling to consolidate in the northern residential areas of the 8th District. The remaining Ukrainian assault groups were forced to retreat from this part of the city, allowing for the Russians to establish full control over the district. Additionally, Russian forces advanced northwest from the low-rise part of the Dinas District to the nearby forested areas, while other forces in the 8th District advanced north to the forested areas just outside the city, forcing most Ukrainian formations to withdraw much further west - away from the Myrnohrad Pocket.

In northwestern Pokrovsk, after establishing control over and consolidating in the Shcherbakova District, Russian soldiers began infiltrating north across the Hryshinka River to the northernmost street of Pokrovsk and the Druzhba Dachas, where they are now trying to consolidate. Fighting is ongoing as Ukrainian forces attempt to prevent the Russians from securing this area as it would build a buffer outside the main part of the city and help develop the eastern flank to Hryshyne.

North of Pokrovsk, Russian forces continued advancing down the road to Hryshyne and have captured additional positions there. They also advanced down a perpendicular treeline to the north. Assault groups then began attacking towards the next pig farm over, while DRGs infiltrated towards the third pig farm. DRGs also began infiltrating southwest through the treelines towards the northern outskirts of Pokrovsk

Northeast of the city, Russian forces continued their assault operations in southern Rivne, attacking along the highway in the direction of northwestern Myrnohrad. In eastern Pokrovsk, other they began attacks from the Sobachivka District to the "Kohozhkine" street of Pokrovsk - the last street in the eastern part of the city.

South of Myrnohrad, after capturing the last parts of Lysivka, Russian forces were able to capture the rest of the forests north of the village. They also consolidated in a large trench fortification further north and are attacking east down a treeline to the other one. Additionally, the Russians began attacks north up a treeline from eastern Lysivka to the western part of Sukhyi Yar.

In southeastern Myrnohrad, Russian forces continued assault operations from the area of the terykon to residential areas in the area of Dymytrov Park. They are also attacking towards the area of the high-rise buildings in the Zapadny District.

Update from the Pokrovsk direction (Part 2):

In Rodynske, extremely heavy fighting continues. The Ukrainians are attempting to exploit poorly consolidated Russian positions in the city centre to reach the southeastern high-rise micro-district, while Russian forces continue attempts to counterattack from the flanks. Both sides are using extensive heavy weaponry to strike each other's positions. Ukraine is using MiG-29s and F-16s to launch glide-bombs at Russian positions in the city, while Russia continues to strike the Ukrainian positions in the city along with its main supply line with FAB glide-bombs.

Do you guys think Zelensky is aware of his curse?

Despite the fierce battles, St. Michael's Church in Pokrovsk city centre has been left practically untouched.

The surrounded Ukrainian units in Myrnohrad continue to be pounded by Russian FAB glide-bombs.

This video shows a FAB-3000 strike on high-rise buildings in the southern part of the city.

Last night, Russia carried out a larger than usual Geran-2 drone attack on Ukraine. Approximately 200 Gerans and Gerberas were recorded in Ukrainian airspace, attacking targets in the areas of the following locations:

Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast (energy infrastructure).
Bohuslav, Kyiv Oblast (energy infrastructure).
Vinnytsia City, Vinnytsia Oblast.
Ladyzhyn, Vinnytsia Oblast (Thermal Power Plant).
Lozova, Kharkiv Oblast (Railway station).
Pavlohrad, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
Vasylkivka, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (railway infrastructure).
Petropavlivka, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
Chaplyne, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (railway infrastructure).
Berezivka, Odesa Oblast (energy infrastructure).
Dolynska, Kirovohrad Oblast.
Kropyvnytskyi, Kirovohrad Oblast.
Odesa City, Odesa Oblast.

Over the last week, local Palestinian armed groups affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's Saraya Al-Quds Brigades claimed responsibility for two attacks in the West Bank.

On November 4, the "Tulkarm Brigade" stated that their fighters fired on a newly established Israeli outpost with small arms near the border with Israel west of the city of Tulkarm. This is the first recorded presence of Palestinian militants in the area of Tulkarm City in some time. IDF troops effectively occupy the city, which previously served as a stronghold for multiple armed groups.

On November 11, the "Nablus Brigade" stated that their fighters fired on an Israeli military vehicle with small arms near the "Alon Moreh" settlement east of Nablus. An increase in insurgent activity has been recorded in the Nablus area over the past month, which has seen very little activity recently due to frequent and sustained IDF raids.

No Israeli casualties were reported in either of these incidents.

Additionally, the Saraya Al-Quds Brigades announced the death of a fighter from the local armed group "Tubas Battalion" after he was killed by IDF troops in the Al-Fara'a Refugee Camp.

I'm having issues with my computer, so I won't be able to post map updates from Ukraine today. All updates are live on my interactive map as usual, and I will try to make long-form posts about them as soon as possible.

Consequences of the morning Russian Geran-2 drone strikes on a warehouse facility in Kharkiv City.

I’m seeing a lot of “Pro-Ukraine” accounts calling for mass mobilisation of more Ukrainian men today.

To those people advocating for this, think for a second - would you go and volunteer yourself? Would you go and fight alongside the country you claim to support so much?

Or are you happy with just sitting at home in your comfortable, peaceful country advocating for the killing of hundreds of thousands. Because that’s what it would mean - mass mobilisation of additional Ukrainians would be condemning a significant portion of them to their deaths. They will die for a war that cannot be won.

All the while you have the audacity to claim that this is a good idea, while not being prepared to do anything yourself other than lie on Twitter for money and engagement.

People like this are some of the most fucking vile, disgusting humans on this planet, and I truly hope that their statements will come back to haunt them once this war is over.

You do not support Ukraine. You are only anti-Russia. You have blood on your hands.
