Russia claims two more villages in Donetsk and Lugansk regions

The Hindu  

Russia said on Thursday that it took two more east Ukrainian villages — in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions — as its forces continue their advance deeper into the country. The Defence Ministry said Russian forces captured the village of Mykolaivka, around 15 km from the city of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, as well as the settlement of Stelmakhivka in the neighbouring Lugansk region. Kyiv earlier this month launched a surprise ground assault into Russia's border region of Kursk hoping that the offensive would draw Moscow's Army away from Donetsk. Kyiv also said on Thursday that Russia had launched 74 attack drones and five missiles at targets across Ukraine but that air defence systems downed most of the projectiles.
