Russian occupation forces in the south of Ukraine over the past day lost 17 soldiers; a Buk anti-aircraft missile complex, a Sani 120mm artillery unit, five trucks and armored vehicles, and an ammunition depot in Kakhovka.

The Command says that the Army inflicted significant damage on the Antonivsky Bridge in Kherson, delivering a high-precision strike. The OC also confirmed the "significant degree of damage" to the bridge over the Kakhovska HPP.
