Occupiers have seized 3 square kilometers near Minkivka — DeepState
Russian troops have advanced near the village of Minkivka in the Donetsk region along the Kramatorsk axis. According to the OSINT project DeepState, the occupiers have seized approximately 3 square kilometers of territory.
“The enemy has advanced near Minkivka,” the project’s Telegram channel reported on Tuesday morning.
According to DeepState maps, 3.26 square kilometers of territory north of the village have come under Russian occupation; this area previously belonged to the so-called “penetration zone” (gray zone), which has correspondingly shrunk by the same amount. Minkivka itself had been occupied by the enemy earlier.
There were no changes on other sections of the front over the past 24 hours.
Last week, the area under Russian occupation grew by an average of 2 square kilometers per day, while the infiltration zone expanded by another 0.8 square kilometers.

On the night of August 26, 2026, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck facilities at the “Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez” LLC oil refinery in the city of Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia.
Ukrainian strikes since July have disabled seven of Wildberries’ ten largest logistics centers in Russia, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. In particular, following an attack on August 16, the company’s large facilities in Domodedovo and the “Koledino” industrial park ceased operations; the latter covered an area of approximately 250,000 square meters.
On the night of August 26, drones again attacked the Wildberries logistics center in Kotovsk, Tambov Oblast, Russia, after which a massive fire broke out at the facility. According to Russian authorities, the fire covered an area of at least 40,000 square meters, and one employee was injured.
Ukrainian drones simultaneously attacked the Lukoil oil refinery and the Wildberries warehouse in Russia.
As a reminder, the Orsk oil refinery in the Orenburg region of the Russian Federation completely halted operations following an attack by Ukrainian drones.
