On the line of contact in the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions, the enemy continues to conduct hostilities along the occupied frontier and improve the fortification equipment of its positions. The enemy did not create new strike groups and did not conduct active offensive actions.

Instead, the enemy conducted air reconnaissance of our positions, but as a punishment for this, they lost the Orlan-10 reconnaissance drone with an accurate shot from Ukrainian fighters. The same fate befell the cruise missile aimed at dawn in the Odessa region.

The fire raid of our units covered the checkpoint of one of the enemy's strike formations in the Kherson region. Control of units by the enemy is lost.

In total, for the day, due to the missile and artillery activity of our units with the support of aircraft, the enemy missed 29 racists, lost an upgraded T-72B3 tank, and self-propelled howitzer "Msta-C" and other armored vehicles.

But very symbolically, Ukrainian put 2 "flowers" on the grave of the enemy's plans - a large-caliber cannon "Hyacinth" and a self-propelled cannon of high power "Peony".

Unsuccessful in battle, the enemy in the occupied territories tries to keep the civilian population to create for its leaders and commanders a picture of the satisfaction of the local population with the "Russian peace".

However, conscious civilians are trying to evacuate from the invaders, not wanting to be a cover. And those in turn, having imposed strict restrictions on leaving the territory under their control, at the checkpoints offering a pass for $ 1,000 or their equivalent. But even then, the trail insidiously opens fire.

Measures to control the border regime have been strengthened in the Odesa region. Still, they have been introduced within the framework of martial law to ensure reliable protection of the state border and prevent its violations. It will not significantly affect the life of law-abiding citizens.

Restriction regimes apply, in particular, to additional checks on the compliance of the purpose of the trip and stay in the immediate vicinity of the border.

In the Black Sea, the maneuvering of 6 large landing ships and 2 cruise missile carriers continues - ready to use more than a dozen lethal shells. Flashing their weapons, they maintain Ukrainian ports and civilian shipping blockade. The brazen occupiers call the waters around Snake Island their territorial sea through open communication channels and maritime security, warning foreign ships of the danger of approaching.
