Ukraine’s General Staff has confirmed that Ukrainian troops are engaged in fighting near the villages of Zaporizke and Novoheorhiivka in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, though it indicated that these settlements have not fallen to Russian forces.

Quote: "Regarding the operational situation on the border of Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts:

Ukraine’s defence forces have stopped the advance of the Russian invaders and continue to maintain control of the village of Zaporizke, despite all the enemy’s efforts to seize it.

Intense fighting is also continuing near the village of Novoheorhiivka, where our soldiers are inflicting heavy losses on the enemy, killing dozens of occupiers every day.

Reports claiming that the Russians have occupied both of these settlements do not correspond to reality."

Background: On 26 August, DeepState, a Ukrainian group of military analysts, claimed that Russian forces had occupied Zaporizke and Novoheorhiivka in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
