The situation in the south is difficult and tense but controlled.

The enemy on its equipped defense lines does not have significant changes in quantity.

The enemy tried to capture Ukrainian observation post by the forces of a motorized rifle platoon with the support of a rocket salvo fire system. The enemy was stopped by an open fire, and retreated.

Continued the practice of air strikes on Ukrainian positions along the contact line. Attacked three times without success.

The enemy used two anti-radar missiles to destroy the Ukrainian air defense system. Without success.

Four times a day, the enemy attacked the Zelenodol community of Kryviy Rih with heavy barrel artillery and fired twice from "Grad". Fortunately, all the shells fell in an open area. Without human losses.

Ukrainian aviation continued attacking strongholds and areas of concentration of enemy forces, weapons, and equipment. Such damage was inflicted in the Novovoznesenskyi and Oleksandrivka districts, respectively.

As part of the execution of fire missions by missile and artillery units, the enemy lost 29 rocket launchers, a 203-calibre Pion self-propelled gun, 5 units of armored and motor vehicles, and an ammunition supply warehouse in Biloghirka.

The final losses of the enemy are being investigated.

In the Black Sea, the ship grouping of the enemy fleet has practically not changed. They continue to keep two missile carriers with 16 Kalibrs and 1 dock landing ship.

Therefore, the vulnerability of missile strikes and shelling remains at a high level, and mine danger in coastal areas is increased - a storm continues, mines may drift, in particular, to the shore.
