According to the military, a powerful counter-battery battle continues in the operational area of the Southern Defense Forces.

"The enemy does not abandon its intention to drive our units from the left bank of the Dnipro. Two unsuccessful assaults were registered over the last day. Having suffered losses, the Russian attackers retreated to their original positions. Our soldiers are bravely holding their positions, gradually and methodically taking measures to strengthen and expand the bridgehead. The occupants are conducting aerial reconnaissance, putting pressure with artillery shelling, and using a large number of attack drones of various types," the statement said.

The defense forces continue to inflict fire on enemy locations, firing positions, and rear.

Over the past day, we have received confirmation that the enemy's numbers on the left bank have decreased by:

  • 39 occupants;
  • 3 Grad multiple rocket launchers
  • 3 units of rocket and artillery weapons;
  • 5 mortars;
  • 1 electronic warfare system;
  • 6 units of automotive equipment.
