“The enemy continues defensive actions, leaves checkpoints in the occupied areas, redistributes military efforts, redeploys military equipment convoys, sets up concrete bunkers, strengthens the existing frontiers and sets up the new ones,” the report states.

According to the South Operational Command, counterbattery activities continue. The enemy opens fire along the front line with multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), heavy artillery, mortars and tanks.

Ukraine’s missile and artillery units completed 167 fire missions, having struck enemy deployment points, logistics objects and transport routes in the temporarily occupied areas.

A total of 32 Russian occupiers were eliminated. One tank and nine enemy armored vehicles were destroyed. Additionally, two Russian ammunition depots were destroyed in the Bashtanka district, near Snihurivka.

In the Black Sea, Russia’s naval group consists of seven warships. No missile carriers are among them at the moment. The grain corridors continue to work according to the plan developed by the Istanbul Coordination Center.
