'Complex underground two-storey bunkers' being built by Russia
Russia is building "complex underground two-storey bunkers" in a Ukrainian village, the UK's defence ministry has said.
The fortifications are being created with "tunnels and trenches" along the Orikhiv axis in Novopokrovka, it said in its latest intelligence update.
Elsewhere, in the small city of Tokmak, Vladimir Putin's troops are filling trenches with concrete and building "additional defensive fortifications".
Russian officers have also started evacuating their families from the city.
The ministry said these movements likely show Moscow is worried about a Ukrainian breakthrough.
"The bunkers will add additional protection for Russian soldiers and command and control elements from heavy Ukrainian artillery and uncrewed aerial vehicle attacks," it said.
"The concrete likely reinforces the trench systems in advance of the potentially wet and muddy conditions in the coming weeks.
"These fortifications and evacuations likely reflect Russia's concern of a further Ukrainian breakthrough."
