The Russian Defense Ministry announced on Wednesday that its forces had taken control of another settlement in Ukraine.
The ministry said in a statement that the village of Mykhailivka in the Donetsk region was captured in an operation carried out by the Tsentr (Center) group of forces.
The ministry further claimed that all other army units improved their positions and advanced along the entire frontline.
It also said the Russian air defense systems shot down five US-made JDAM-guided aerial bombs, a HIMARS rocket, and 162 drones overnight.
Ukraine has yet to comment on Russia's claims, and independent verification is challenging due to the ongoing armed conflict.
