Eleven people have been evacuated from recently recaptured villages in the Donetsk region.

Pavlo Kyrylenko, head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, said this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

"Eleven civilians have been evacuated from the now de-occupied villages in the Donetsk region. Seven people left Storozheve alone. The rest are from Blahodatne and Neskuchne. They were sent to safe places in the region," Kyrylenko said.

According to him, work is underway to clear these settlements of the Russian military. The demining of territories and stabilization measures will then be carried out here.

"The liberated settlements are 75% destroyed," Kyrylenko added.

He noted that the Ukrainian military captured Russian soldiers during the liberation of these territories.

Ukrinform reported earlier that the Ukrainian army had retaken the village of Blahodatne, located on the administrative border of the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. During the operation, six Russian soldiers were captured. On June 11, the Ukrainian military also announced the liberation of the village of Neskuchne.

Today it emerged that a mechanized unit and a combined unit of the Zaporizhzhia Separate Brigade of Territorial Defense had recaptured the village of Novodarivka in the Donetsk region from Russian forces.
