Russian forces carried out 3 raids in the Mykolayiv and Kherson regions using Mi-8 helicopters.
Source: "Pivden" (South) Operational Command.
Quote: "During the day the enemy's manpower was reduced by 20 Ruscists (Russian military - ed.), and they were also relieved of 2 self-propelled artillery units and 1 anti-aircraft unit, as well as vehicle equipment."
Details: Russian forces carried out 3 raids using Mi-8 helicopters with 2-3 units in a single group along the line of contact in Mykolaiv and Kherson regions.
One attack by the helicopter trio was thwarted by fire from Pivden Operational Command units: the invaders dodged the fire and retreated to their original positions.
As a result of shelling by Russian forces, including the use of Giatsint-B [Hyacinth-B] field guns, an undetonated shell hit a residential house in the settlements along the line of contact, injuring one civilian.
The dangerous shell was defused by officers from the Ukrainian State Emergency Services, and the casualty was treated.
Russian forces are continuing to conduct aerial reconnaissance to identify Ukrainian positions and countermeasures along the coastline of the Odesa and Mykolaiv regions.
