Details: The aggressors continued to conduct hostilities at occupied positions, but have not been specifically active over the past 24 hours in the Kherson and Mykolayiv regions.

Meanwhile, the aggressors launched 5 missile attacks and conducted shelling using Smerch multiple rocket launchers.

One missile was destroyed by anti-aircraft fire in the Mykolaiv region, while the rest struck a previously destroyed railway bridge.

Air Defence Force destroyed an aggressors’ missile near Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Odesa region in the morning of 6 May.

Two missiles struck Odesa in the evening on 6 May. No casualties had been reported.

The aggressors’ attempts to carry out air reconnaissance with UAV in the Mykolayiv region failed with the destruction of the Orlan-10 UAV.

The total aggressors’ losses over the past 24 hours amounted to 21 invaders and 7 units of military equipment, including, in addition to the Orlan UAV,  4 self-propelled howitzers, one Grad multiple rocket launcher, one TOR surface-to-air missile system, which was deployed for use on Zmiinyi (Snake) Island.

The naval group of the Russian fleet continues to control the north-western part of the Black Sea, blocking Ukraine’s ports and international shipping, and threatening missile strikes on all Ukrainian territory from the sea.

Psychological pressure and propaganda to make the civilian population accept living conditions in the fake republics continues in the occupied territories.

Exits from the occupied settlements are blocked.

The aggressors’ forces are attempting to carry out provocations and information jamming in the areas bordering Transnistria: they allege that Ukrainian defence forces are carrying out aggressive actions.

"However, the border is well protected, our units have not recorded any unusual situations that affect the state of border protection," reads a statement by "Pivden" Task Force.
