Russia on Saturday claimed that it captured another settlement in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region.

According to a Defense Ministry statement, Russian forces took control of the village of Myropillia, situated about 34 kilometers (21 miles) northeast of the city of Sumy.

The village is about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) from the Russia-Ukraine border.

Ukrainian authorities have not immediately commented on Russia's claim, and independent verification of the claim is difficult due to the ongoing war.
