Russian blogger Alexander Arutyunov, known as Razvedos and the author of the Telegram channel "RAG&E — Razvedos Advanced Gear & Equipment," accused a fellow blogger of leaking a video showing troops entering Pokrovsk under cover of fog. He claimed the leak allowed enemy forces to determine which direction to attack.

"Have we all seen the 'famous video' of the entrance to Pokrovsk? But what if we get down to business: 'Because of that ****** who filmed it and leaked it online, today there's a '200' mountain and burned-out equipment in this area...'", — wrote Arutyunov.

He specified that the enemy used mortars, automatic grenade launchers and other artillery.

A video that went viral on November 10 showed attack troops on motorcycles and pickup trucks entering the city under thick fog, masking their movements from Ukrainian Armed Forces drones. According to DeepState, the Russian Armed Forces control up to 70% of Pokrovsk.

There have been no official comments from the Russian Ministry of Defense or its command. Experts consider the leak a typical error: similar cases have been recorded before.
