Russian Forces Capture Dobropillya, Key Dnipropetrovsk Defensive Node

Russian 'Center' group troops have taken control of Dobropillya in the DNR, a key defensive node on the Dnipropetrovsk direction, according to Chief of General Staff Gerasimov. This marks a significant territorial gain, potentially opening a path toward Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. The claim is unverified by independent sources, and the strategic impact depends on subsequent Ukrainian responses.
