Russian forces took control of Tolstoi village in Donetsk region, according to Defense Ministry
Russia on Wednesday claimed that its forces captured the village of Tolstoi in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region.
According to a Defense Ministry statement, the settlement went under Russia's control as a result of an operation carried out by the Vostok (East) group of forces.
The ministry also said it carried out a group strike last night using high-precision long-range air-launched weapons, including Kinzhal hypersonic missiles and long-range drones, against the infrastructure of Ukraine's military airfields.
It also claimed that over the past day, Russian air defense systems shot down nine guided aerial bombs, four US-made HIMARS multiple rocket launchers and 226 drones.
Ukraine has yet to comment on Russia's claims, and independent verification is challenging due to the ongoing armed conflict.
