Russia's invading forces have withdrawn personnel from the villages of Verkhnii Tokmak and Chernihivka in the Zaporizhia region.

That's according to the press service of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

"After the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck the positions of the occupying forces near the villages of Verkhnii Tokmak and Chernihivka in the Zaporizhia region on the night of July 29, the Rashists took personnel and equipment to other positions. About 40 wounded were taken to the hospital in Polohy. Almost all units were withdrawn from Chernihivka. Currently, there are several roadblocks and no more than 100 military personnel near the settlement. The rest of the occupiers, together with their equipment, were sent to the cities of Tokmak and Berdiansk," the report said.

According to the report, when leaving the settlements, the invaders are trying to create the impression of a planned rotation. In fact, the occupiers intend to completely leave the villages and have started mining access roads.
