A large stronghold of the Ukrainian army on the outskirts of the Kirov settlement was captured by assault units of the Veterans Detachment of the Russian Combat Group Center, which used an underground tunnel, the Russian TASS news agency quoted the Defense Ministry as saying in a statement.
The ministry added that the soldiers of the detachment cleared and used the tunnel, which was more than three kilometers long, extending along the Seversky-Donetsk Canal, and reached the rear of the fortified stronghold, equipped with firing positions and underground shelters.
