Russian occupiers have likely taken control of the village of Novooleksandrivka in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region.
The UK Defense Ministry said this in an intelligence update posted to X, Ukrinform reports.
"Russian forces have likely taken control of the village of Novooleksandrivka, located approximately 20km north of Avdiivka, Donetsk oblast. The area has seen heavy fighting throughout 2024 and Russia has been gradually advancing since capturing Avdiivka in February 2024," the update reads.
The ministry added that by taking control of Novooleksandrivka, Russia moves closer to threatening the T-05-04 road, one of the main supply routes for Ukrainian forces further east.
According to British intelligence, it is highly likely that the village of Vozdvyzhenka will be Russia's next objective as it seeks to sever the road and disrupt Ukrainian logistics.
