There were about 30 units of artillery systems of various types, self-propelled guns, and anti-aircraft guns, as well as ammunition and fuel, and lubricants. Detailed information on the loss of equipment and personnel is being clarified.
The occupiers organized a field hospital in the village of Novobohdanivka, Zaporizhzhia region. In Novotroitskyi, in the Kherson region, the Russian invaders rebuilt the local hospital to treat their wounded. Sick local residents were forcibly "discharged". In this settlement, the occupiers intensified counterintelligence measures. All this indicates significant losses of the enemy.
