Russian forces have taken control of the village of Tymofiyivka in eastern Ukraine, marking another step forward in their recent operations, according to a statement from the Russian defence ministry on Tuesday.
The ministry announced on social media that Russian units had 'liberated the settlement of Timofeevka', referring to the village by its Russian name.
In a separate incident, a Russian missile strike on Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine resulted in the damage of a medical clinic and injuries to at least five individuals, as reported by the governor of the Kharkiv region. Oleh Syniehubov detailed on the Telegram messaging app that the Russian forces employed an Iskander ballistic missile in the morning assault, causing significant damage to numerous cars, residential structures, and administrative buildings.
Local authorities had previously indicated that the Russian attack on the central area of Kharkiv had ignited a fire. Since the commencement of its full-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia has relentlessly targeted the city, situated less than 30km from its border.
