MOSCOW (AA) - Moscow on Saturday said that it reclaimed a settlement of Oleshnya, captured by Ukraine during last year's incursion into Russia's Kursk region.
According to a Russian Defense Ministry statement, Ukrainian troops were ousted from the village as a result of an operation carried out by the Sever (North) group of forces.
Ukraine has yet to comment on the claims and independent verification remains challenging due to the ongoing conflict.
