Ukraine claims battlefield gains, more liberated towns:

Ukraine says its forces have liberated three towns from the occupiers and destroyed the Russian security agency’s local hub — as Kyiv touted its military’s success in its week-old counteroffensive in the south.

Following days of silence about their new offensive, Ukrainian officials posted an image online of three soldiers raising a flag over a settlement in Kherson province — a southern region occupied by Russia since the war’s early days.

The image of the flag being fixed to a pole on a rooftop, purportedly in Vysokopyllya in the north of Kherson, was released as President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian forces had captured two towns in the south and one in the east.

On Monday, Ukraine’s defense intelligence division claimed that Kyiv’s forces struck a Russian base used by the Kremlin’s Federal Security Service in Kamianka-Dniprovska in the Zaporizhzhia region.

The strike also destroyed a warehouse that was being used to store ballots for a planned referendum, CNN reported.

After months of enduring punishing Russian artillery assaults in the east, Ukraine has begun its counter-attack, its biggest since it repelled Russian forces from the outskirts of Kyiv in March.

Ukraine’s presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak advised residents of Russian-annexed Crimea to prepare bomb shelters and stock up on supplies “during de-occupation measures.”

“Everything will be Ukraine,” he wrote on Twitter.

Ukraine had kept most details of its new campaign under wraps, banning journalists from the front line and offering little public commentary in order to preserve the tactical surprise. —>READ MORE HERE

Quote: “The enemy continues to focus its efforts on establishing full control over the territory of Donetsk Oblast, holding the temporarily captured districts of Kherson Oblast, [as well as] part of Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Mykolaiv oblasts.

There is still a threat of massive air and missile strikes on military and civilian infrastructure throughout the territory of Ukraine.

In the waters of the Black Sea, carriers of the Kalibr sea-based cruise missiles of the Russian occupying forces are still in the stand-by mode.”

Details: On 5 September, the Russian forces carried out more than 40 launches from MLRS and more than 25 airstrikes, aiming to hit the military and civilian objects on the territory of Ukraine.

The Russian forces launched airstrikes on the towns and villages in Kharkiv Oblast: Zalyman, Dmytrivka, Bohorodychne, Zaitseve, Kodema, Soledar, Yakovlivka; Krasnohorivka in Donetsk Oblast and Dorozhnianka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. —>READ MORE HERE
