In the Kherson direction, the opposing sides conducted mutual artillery shelling. The RF Armed Forces attacked Veletinsky, Pervomaisky, Antonovka, Tokarevka, Ivanovka and Odradokamenka. Opposite the last of the named settlements, the Armed Forces of Ukraine responded with a blow to Korsunka on the left bank of the Dnieper. But the rest of the targets of the Ukrainian artillery deserve special attention. Golaya Pristan’, Heroskoye and Pokrovka were under fire. The first of these settlements is an important logistics center on the left bank of the Dnieper. And the other two are already key strongholds of Russian troops on the Kinburn Spit, on which a Ukrainian landing is quite likely. Both sea and air. And from there, it is possible for Ukrainian troops to advance on the left bank of the Dnieper without the need to force it towards the already named Golaya Pristan’. There is a road in this direction. (Fig. 1)
On the Donetsk front, oncoming battles continue in the city of Maryinka. Artillery hits the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the village.
