Novohrodivka is less than 20 kilometers east of Pokrovsk, a small city that is militarily important as a node for rail and road logistics.
The continued Russian advance westward comes despite what was in June a successful counterattack by Ukraine into Russia’s Kursk region. While Russia hasn’t been successful in dislodging Ukraine from Kursk, it has managed to keep pushing the front line in the Donbas region forward.
Meanwhile, a Russian drone violated Romanian airspace during overnight attacks on Ukraine, the NATO member reported on Sunday. The incident occurred as Moscow carried out attacks on “civilian targets and port infrastructure” across the Danube River in Ukraine, Romania’s Ministry of National Defense said.
Romania deployed F-16 jets to monitor its airspace, and NATO allies were kept informed, the ministry said. Romanian emergency authorities also issued text alerts to residents of two eastern regions.
