Ukraine recaptures village as Russian forces hold other lines, fire on fleeing civilians elsewhere
Ukraine’s military reported recapturing a southeastern village as Russian forces claimed to repel multiple attacks in the area. A regional official said three people were killed and another 10 injured when Moscow’s troops fired at a boat evacuating people from Russian-occupied areas to Ukrainian-held territory along a flooded front line. An Associated Press team on site saw three ambulances drop off injured evacuees at a hospital, one of whom was splattered with blood and was whisked by stretcher into the emergency room. The battlefield showdown in the southeast and chaotic scenes from inundated southern Ukraine marked the latest upheaval and bloodshed in Russia’s war in Ukraine, now in its 16th month.
