The officer of the operational command "South," Vladislav Nazarov spoke about the situation in the southern regions of Ukraine.

“In the occupied territories of the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions, the enemy continues psychological and fire pressure on the civilian population, conducts propaganda activities to agitate the population to resist the Ukrainian authorities and create pseudo-republics, discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine with fake stuffing, fire at civilian objects."

So, on the outskirts of the village of Grozovoe, in the Kherson region, tanks of the invaders with Ukrainian flags left. This demonstration column moved in the direction of the village of Molodetskoye.

Thus, the enemy is trying to imitate the presence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine units in the territories he occupies. And then, from the same tanks, it shells the occupied settlements, giving the local population a fake picture of an attack by the Ukrainian military on civilians in the Kherson region.

We emphasize that the defenders of Ukraine do not fire at civilian objects and the population and do not open fire on settlements where the invaders are hiding behind civilians.

During the night, our rocket and artillery units fired 12 strikes at the invaders' positions. As a result, the enemy's loss amounted to 11 Russians and 3 pieces of equipment, including armored ones.

About two dozen ships of the aggressor country's fleet continue to be in the Black Sea operational zone, among which there are submarines, including those with missile weapons.

"We ask everyone to observe security measures and algorithms, avoid crowds, be vigilant and conscious, do not help the enemy by spreading information about the security and defense forces, identify suspicious persons and inform the relevant authorities and structures about them, refrain from visiting the coast and forests," - indicated in the message.
