The 36th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Eastern Group, part of the 29th Army, has captured Tsyrka (now restored by the Russians to its previous name, Chervona Tsyrka, which means "Red Star" in Russian), located at the border between Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions. The Russians claim that when they reached the village, the Ukrainian forces did not engage them directly in combat but had already fled. The Ukrainian forces mainly attacked the Russians with artillery and drones. From intercepted Ukrainian radio communications, not only Ukrainian can be heard, but also English and French.
After planting the flag in the village, the Russians quickly carried out a clearing operation. A large number of FPVs, explosives, Western-provided weapons, and Ukrainian drone operators were found in the basements of some houses. Faced with Russian soldiers, the Ukrainian soldiers did not choose to resist but immediately surrendered.
