Quote: "The Ukrainian Defence Forces conducted a series of successful actions on the left bank of the Dnipro River on the Kherson front.

Sabotage, raiding and reconnaissance operations are being carried out. The ways of logistical supply of ammunition and food to the occupiers are being identified. Reconnaissance is being carried out on the location of personnel and equipment of the Russian occupation forces, artillery positions, etc. with the goal of their further destruction by conventional means of destruction. Heavy fighting continues. 

One of the main goals of this work is to push the enemy as far away from the right bank as possible to protect the civilian population from constant Russian attacks. The further the Russian artillery is from Kherson, the better."

Details: The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine added that the Ukrainian military inflicted significant losses on Russian forces, destroying equipment and personnel. Despite a fairly serious line of fortifications and the strong resistance of the Russians, the General Staff added that "several successful operations were carried out". 

The Russians are trying to drive Ukrainian soldiers out of their positions, which is why they are suffering heavy losses. In particular, the occupiers make four to ten such attempts almost every day. As a result of subsequent significant losses, the Russians are forced to redeploy units from other fronts.

Thus, since the beginning of these measures, the Russians have lost: 1,216 killed and 2,217 wounded personnel, 24 tanks, 89 artillery systems and mortars, 135 pieces of various vehicles, 48 armoured combat vehicles, nine MLRS, 14 vessels (boats), 15 pieces of special equipment, four command posts and 29 ammunition storage points. In addition, 135 FPV drones and five tactical UAVs were downed.
