Ukrainian aircraft struck a key route used by Russian infantry to enter the embattled city of Pokrovsk, following the release of footage by Russian troops that revealed their movements, Militarnyi reported on November 14.
According to the Ukrainian aviation-linked Telegram channel “Sonyashnyk” (Sunflower), cited by Militarnyi, several precise and powerful airstrikes were carried out against the route.
“No one is going to just watch as enemy columns roll into our Pokrovsk. Together with our brothers from the ground forces, we conducted several targeted and powerful strikes,” the channel’s author wrote.
Video posted by “Sonyashnyk” showed the moment of impact, with multiple explosions hitting what appeared to be a convoy of Russian military vehicles.

A Russian military blogger known as Wayne Howell, who is affiliated with Russian troops, later confirmed the strike on the convoy.
He said the attack occurred after Russian soldiers shared a video online showing how they were moving toward Pokrovsk along the same route.
⚡️Recently, russian publics have been actively publishing videos of a column of occupiers entering Pokrovsk.

“One person made a mistake by posting a video in a private chat where it shouldn’t have been shared. Another leaked it publicly for views. The masses got a beautiful picture—and the next group paid the price under fire at that same spot,” Howell wrote.
The strike reportedly targeted the E50 highway south of Pokrovsk, a route Russian infantry units have been using with light vehicles to push into the city. Russian troops, entering the city, were reportedly killed or wounded in the follow-up attacks.

Earlier, Ukrainian assault teams successfully cleared several streets in the embattled city of Pokrovsk, using drone-guided operations to drive Russian troops from their positions.
Small tactical groups are being deployed to clear buildings of occupying forces, with each move coordinated in real time by reconnaissance drones.
