MOSCOW (AA) - Russia claimed on Saturday that its forces had taken control of another village in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region.
The settlement of Aleksandro-Kalinove came under Russia's control following operations carried out by the units of the Yig (South) group of forces, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry also said that Ukraine responded with air attacks using drones — 338 of them were shot down and jammed overnight.
Ukraine has yet to respond to Moscow's claims, and independent verification is challenging due to the ongoing armed conflict.
