The Operational Command "Pivden" (South) has reported that Russian occupiers are digging shallow pits in the ground in order to get minor injuries and leave Kherson Oblast in areas where the Ukrainian army is conducting attacks.

Quote: "The demoralised troops are seeking ways to justify a return home. Being forced out of organised positions, the Russian occupiers are not rushing to build up a new line of defence.

They are not digging trenches but shallow pits of up to half a metre, where they then lie down on their backs, raise their legs and wait for minor injuries. 

Frightened by the loss of their senior officers and soldiers, confused by the lack of prospects, occupiers are struggling to be evacuated on grounds of injuries from Kherson Oblast."

Details: The situation on the frontline is noted as being "steadily tense" but controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. 

Russian occupiers are losing their positions and lack the motivation to conduct offensive operations. 

At the same time, on the morning of 25 June, the Russian army launched 9 "Oniks" rockets at Mykolaiv and its suburbs from the coastal "Bastion" missile system located in the temporarily-occupied Crimea. 

It has reported that occupiers again attacked the port infrastructure, residential areas and recreational areas for civilians. The extent of the damage and information about the victims is currently being verified.

In addition, the military operation is still ongoing on Zmiinyi [Snake] Island. 

A unit of the enemy fleet, shaken by a storm lasting several days, is staying at a safe distance.

Ukraine is still facing a threat of 16-calibre missile strikes from the sea, of strategic aircraft from the sky, and of coastal missile systems from the occupied land.
