Details: Within the last 24 hours, 45 combat clashes have occurred. The Russians launched 16 airstrikes and 41 attacks from multiple-launch rocket systems on settlements and the positions of the Ukrainian forces. The Russians also attacked critical infrastructure facilities of Ukraine with the Shahed-136/131 attack UAVs. Thanks to the Ukrainian crews’ efforts, 15 out of 20 Shahed drones have been destroyed. Civilians have been injured in Russian terrorist attacks. Private houses and other civilian infrastructure have been damaged.

On the Volyn and Polissia fronts, there have been no significant changes in the operative situation.

On the Siversk and Slobozhanshchyna fronts over 20 settlements were attacked by the Russians from artillery and mortars, including Yanzhulivka, Mykhalchyna Sloboda, and Leonivka in Chernihiv Oblast; Khodyne, Holyshivske, Basivka, Myropilske, and Novodmytrivka in Sumy Oblast; Kozacha Lopan, Vovchansk, Bochkove, and Budarky in Kharkiv Oblast.

On the Kupiansk front, the Russians were conducting unsuccessful assault actions near the settlement of Synkivka, to the east of Petropavlivka and Ivanivka in Kharkiv Oblast where the Defence Forces repelled seven attacks. An airstrike was launched near the settlement of Petropavlivka in Kharkiv Oblast. Over 10 settlements, including Dvorichna, Synkivka, Petropavlivka, Ivanivka, and Berestove in Kharkiv Oblast were under artillery and mortar fire launched by the Russians.

On the Lyman front, the Russians were not conducting any assault actions. Airstrikes were launched near the settlements of Serebrianka Forestry in Luhansk Oblast and Yampolivka in Donetsk Oblast.

In Kherson Oblast, Ukrainian defenders push Russians 3-8 kilometres back from Dnipro:

The defence forces have pushed the Russians 3-8 km from Dnipro on the left bank of Kherson Oblast, so mortar fire no longer reaches the right bank.

Source: Nataliia Humeniuk, Head of the Joint Press Centre for Operational Command Pivden (South), during the national joint 24/7 newscast, Ukrinform quotes

Quote: “Preliminary figures indicate that the distance varies from 3 to 8 kilometres, depending on the specifics of geography and landscape across the left bank. Now their mortars can’t hit the right bank, so we see it as a certain achievement.”

Details: She noted that Ukrainian defenders continue to gain ground on the left bank.

As Humeniuk said, there is a lot of work for our military. Although the reports show 4-10 destroyed artillery systems every day, the Russians still continue to shell the right bank of Kherson Oblast.

This means that the Russians have the opportunity to pull up their reserves, and that they do not yet have a critical limit on the number of these systems. In addition, it should be understood that the Russians are not so knocked out as not to be able to raise additional forces. She added that other, fresher units are returning to replace those destroyed.

At the same time, Humeniuk outlined how many Russian invaders there are on the left bank. She said the total number of the group is estimated at several tens of thousands, but she did not name a specific number in order not to “guide the enemy”. —>READ MORE HERE
