2025-08-03 08:56:33

(MENAFN) Russia asserted on Saturday that its military troops had captured an additional village located in the eastern part of Ukraine’s Donetsk province.

According to a statement from the Defense Ministry, the locality of Aleksandro-Kalinove fell under Russian control after combat maneuvers executed by the Yig (South) military contingent.

The ministry further indicated that Ukraine retaliated with aerial assaults employing unmanned aircraft — with 338 drones either intercepted or electronically disabled during the night.

Kyiv has not yet issued a comment regarding Moscow's assertions, and confirmation from independent sources remains difficult due to the persistent hostilities on the ground.
