Skelia Regiment Clears Enemy Positions in Pokrovsk Trenches and Railway Area

An assault group of the 425th Skelia Regiment successfully cleared positions previously seized by the enemy and eliminated opposing forces during counteroffensive actions.

The press service of the 425th Skelia Assault Regiment released a video from the scene.

The battle took place in the western part of Pokrovsk, where the enemy continues trying to push deeper into the city and secure new defensive lines.

Reconnaissance identified five invaders who were attempting to set up positions on the outskirts. An assault group was deployed to neutralize them. During the advance, the unit came under fire from enemy drones, but despite the attacks, the soldiers managed to reach the designated area and start executing their combat mission.

As the assault troops closed in on the target, Ukrainian Defense Forces drones continuously operated against the enemy. First, a bomber drone engaged: it dropped munitions and opened fire, forcing the enemy to hide in their dugouts. This allowed the group to reduce the distance and begin the assault.

Entering the trench, the soldiers advanced cautiously. The greatest threat came from the turns – before passing them, the troops threw grenades and fired probing shots, then continued moving forward.

The first dugout they found contained three invaders – all were neutralized on the spot. Two more enemy soldiers in a nearby shelter tried to flee toward a railway service building, but they were spotted in time by the bomber drone. One precise drop and both were eliminated.

It is worth noting that, as of today, Pokrovsk remains one of the most difficult sectors.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in just the past day, from November 14 to 15, 2025, the Ukrainian Defense Forces eliminated 192 invaders and destroyed four tanks and eight armored vehicles.

Since the beginning of the week, in just five days – from November 10 to 15 – the enemy’s irrecoverable losses in manpower amount to 524 personnel, with another 260 wounded.
At the same time, Ukrainian defenders neutralized 55 pieces of ground military equipment and destroyed around three hundred various UAVs.

Militarnyi previously reported that Ukrainian aviation executed strikes on the route used by Russian infantry to enter the city of Pokrovsk.

After this, the Russian social media channel Wayne Howell, linked to Russian military personnel, confirmed the strike on the column. According to the group’s statement, the strike occurred because Russian soldiers had previously posted on social media a video showing them using this route to infiltrate Pokrovsk.
