Ukraine's Azov forces say they repelled Russian push near Druzhkivka
Ukrainian Azov units reported thwarting a Russian attempt to reach logistics routes near Druzhkivka, aimed at encircling the town and advancing toward Dobropillia.
Ukraine's Azov forces, operating under the 1st National Guard Corps, said they conducted a clearance operation that thwarted a Russian attempt to reach logistics routes near Druzhkivka, according to the Ukrainian state news agency Ukrinform.
Ukrainian officials said Russian forces had been building up in the area throughout the summer in an effort to operationally encircle Druzhkivka and launch a subsequent attack toward Dobropillia.
The account of the operation was provided by Ukraine's Defense Forces and has not been independently verified. Russia has not issued a public response to the specific claims described in the report.
Fighting has continued in the broader Donetsk region as both sides seek to control key logistics and supply routes near the front line.
