The village has come under Russian airstrikes multiple times since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1][2] It came under Russian pressure on around 26 June 2024 amid recent Russian advancements in the area.[3] On 18 July, it was entered by Russian forces,[4] and was captured the following day.[5] The seizure of the village was attributed to insufficient weapon supplies, deficient training, and decreased motivation.[6] On 25 July, following further Russian advancements south of Prohres, two battalions of the Ukrainian 31st Mechanized Brigade were close to being encircled.[7][8]
