Russia captures Ozyornoye (Ilyichovka)

Russian forces from the 25th Army of the 'West' Group of Forces have captured the village of Ilyichovka, also known as Ozyornoye, in the Donetsk region. The operation involved artillery and drone support to clear Ukrainian forces from the settlement. Russian sources claim the village, which they refer to by its historical name Ilyichovka, has been 'liberated' and the Russian flag raised. This capture consolidates recent Russian territorial gains in the area.
