"The situation in the southern operational zone remains difficult but controlled by our Defense Forces. The enemy continues to focus its efforts on maintaining gained positions, actively conducting aerial reconnaissance using unmanned aerial vehicles.

"Our aircraft inflicted six strikes, while our missile and artillery units – 265, in particular on MLR systems, weapons and equipment clusters, and pontoon crossings in the area of ​​Nova Kakhovka.
