Ukrainian Forces Recapture Village in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Military Reports
On September 13, Ukrainian forces regained control of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast village of Filia, which had been briefly occupied by Russian troops. The 425th Skelya Regiment conducted the operation, which involved capturing prisoners and securing the area. Russia had claimed to have seized Filia on August 24, Ukraine’s Independence Day. The region of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast has been a target of Russian offensives as part of the ongoing conflict, which is a focus of the creation of a “buffer zone” on Ukrainian territory.
