Additional geolocated footage published on August 6 shows elements of the Russian 9th Motorized Rifle Brigade (1st Donetsk People's Republic [DNR] AC) raising a flag over a building on Haharina Street in northwestern Niu York (south of Toretsk), indicating that Russian forces recently advanced further within the settlement. Russian sources claimed that Russian forces advanced further within Niu York and seized the settlement, although ISW has not observed visual confirmation of this maximalist claim.
A further counterattack in the town by another Ukrainian unit temporarily pushed the Russians back, but by the end of September, they had taken control.
