Evacuation trains will no longer be carried out from front-line Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, due to the worsening of the situation at the front. From now on, residents will have to go to the Pavlograd station in the Dnipropetrovsk region for evacuation, informs Myrnograd City Military Administration.
As stated in the message, boarding of evacuation trains from Pokrovsk station has been canceled due to a dangerous situation. Starting from September 5, Pavlograd, located more than 100 kilometers from Pokrovsk, will be the new starting station for evacuation trains for residents of Donetsk region.
The situation in Pokrovsk
Pokrovsk remains a front-line city, which recently became one of the hottest spots on the front. Fighting continues intensively around the city, and local authorities have repeatedly called on residents to evacuate. Special attention is paid to families with children for whom forced evacuation has already been announced.
According to the latest data from analysts of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Russian troops have approached Pokrovsk to a distance of about eight kilometers, which further increases the danger for the civilian population of the region.
