The Russian Defence Ministry claimed on Saturday (21 February) that its forces had captured another settlement in eastern Ukraine.
The ministry said in a statement that the village of Karpovka had come under the control of Russian forces as a result of operations by the Zapad (West) Group of Forces.
According to the ministry, Ukraine responded with air raids involving five “Flamingo” missiles, and 172 drones were shot down across Russia overnight.
In a separate statement, the governor of Russia’s Udmurtia region, Sergey Bagin, said 11 people were injured in the overnight drone attack.
“Three people were hospitalised, two with moderate injuries, one in difficult condition. Eight people were examined by doctors. They were released under outpatient supervision,” he said on Telegram.
The media outlet Astra claimed that the Votkinsk plant in Udmurtia, as well as a gas and oil refinery in the Samara region, were hit.
Separately, Ukraine's Odesa military administration said one person was injured and an energy facility was damaged as a result of Russia’s overnight air attack.
In the Sumy region, two people were injured as a result of Russian strikes, regional authorities said.
Independent verification of claims is challenging due to the ongoing Moscow–Kyiv conflict.
