Reports claiming the occupation of the settlement of Ternuvate in the Zaporizhzhia region are false, Ukraine’s Southern Defense Forces said. They said a Russian sabotage group infiltrated the village several days ago and staged flag-raising footage. Within an hour, Ukrainian forces carried out a clearance operation. Part of the enemy group was eliminated, while the rest was captured using a ground robot. The military said the settlement remains under Ukrainian control.
