Russian defence ministry claimed on Sunday (September 11) that Russian forces are hitting Ukraine forces in the Kharkiv region with precision strikes. The ministry said on social media that strikes were being carried out by airborne troops.
Reuters said it could not immediately verify the reports.
The claim from the Russian defence ministry came after its announcement on Saturday that it was pulling back troops form two areas in Kharkiv.
Ukraine said on Sunday that its forces had recaptured more than 3000 sq km of territory from Russia.
According to Ukrainian general Valeriy Zaluzhny, "Since the beginning of September, more than 3,000 square kilometres have been returned to Ukrainian control. Around Kharkiv, we have begun to advance not only in the south and east but also to the north. We are 50 kilometres (31 miles) from the border."
