Russia takes Ukrainian town in advance on Pokrovsk

September 9, 2024 - Russia says its forces have taken full control of the town of Novohrodivka in eastern Ukraine as they advance on the strategically important city of Pokrovsk.

Russian forces, which control about a fifth of Ukraine since invading in February 2022, are advancing in eastern Ukraine in an attempt to take the whole of the Donbas, which is about half the size of the U.S. state of Ohio.

Novohrodivka lies 12km east of Pokrovsk, an important rail and road hub for Ukrainian forces in the area, Reuters said.
