Ukraine has recaptured a settlement in the Donetsk region in southeastern Ukraine, according to an official.
Its deputy defence minister says forces have "liberated" the rural settlement of Urozahine and are "entrenched on the outskirts".
"Urozhaine liberated," Hanna Maliar said in a post on Telegram.
In recent days, fierce battles have been taken place in and around Urozhaine and Staromaiorske, around 60 miles southwest of Russian-held Donetsk.
Sky News could not independently verify the report. There was no immediate comment from Russia.
Earlier this week, Ukraine's armed forces said counteroffensive operations were continuing in the directions of Bakhmut, Melitopol and Berdiansk.
Ms Maliar had spoken about "partial success" in the Urozhaine direction last Thursday and said troops had advanced despite "extremely difficult combat conditions and enemy resistance".
