15:17 A high-precision strike by the Russian Air Force has hit the headquarters of the Ukrainian army’s Vostok air command on the southwestern outskirts of Dnipropetrovsk – Russian Defence Ministry.
15:01 The Ukrainian armed forces are advancing in two directions on the Kherson front. Heavy fighting is taking place. According to Go and See, Airborne Forces are holding their defences in the area of Davydov Brod. However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces is building up pressure by introducing fresh reserves into the battle.
In the Beryslav direction, the enemy has so far been halted in the Dudchan area. There, Russian forces were able to blow up a dam, making it much more difficult for Ukrainian units to advance. Nevertheless, part of the settlement is now under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The main tactical objective of the Ukrainian offensive is to consolidate forces in the so-called “Andreevskaya Kishki”. In the future, the Ukrainians will already be able to conduct an offensive on Novaya Kakhovka. The strategic objective is to bypass Kherson and cut off the Russian Armed Forces from supplies.
At present, the Russian army has two options: either to try to dislodge the enemy and launch a counterstrike, or to retreat already to new positions in order to prevent entering the cauldron.
15:00 An air alert has been declared in all regions of Ukraine.
