Quote: "Pairs of enemy Mi-8 helicopters attempted to push our units out of the towns and villages of Kherson Oblast which we have recently liberated. They were not successful.

A portable anti-aircraft missile system was used to repel a group helicopter attack in the north of Kherson Oblast. The enemy was forced to retreat in an attempt to escape [the anti-aircraft missiles - ed.]."

Background: Over the past 24 hours the Russian army has lost more than four dozen Russian soldiers, two Msta-B howitzers and a self-propelled Msta-S howitzer, three armoured and other vehicles, and a fuel and lubricant field supply unit in the south.
