Russian air bases in Dzhankoi and Chaplynka shelled, AFU strongpoint Bassein captured. What’s happening on the front line?

Nova Kakhovka is still under the full control of Russian troops. However, a few days back, locals reported the presence of individual groups of Ukrainian fighters, who withdrew after several skirmishes. They were most likely special ops or reconnaissance, writes War Monitor.

General Oleksii Hromov, Deputy Chief of the Main Operative Directorate of the General Staff of the AFU, reported that Ukraine's defense forces had launched an offensive reaching the Dnipro and liberating up to 5,580 square kilometers of land and 198 settlements. As he stated, the Russian military is now transferring the most fighting-fit troops off the right bank of the Dnipro to other sectors of the front. They may be used as reinforcement in the Donetsk Region or for the groupings in Zaporizhzhia or the Luhansk Region. Alternatively, Russia may use them for its next offensive from the direction of Belarus if this plan gets the green light.

Social media features a video of a recent friendly fire incident on the Inhulets River. When withdrawing to their river bank, Russian troops decided to destroy the watercraft, but their comrades mistook them for an enemy sabotage reconnaissance group and opened fire on them, reports Gray Zone, a Telegram channel affiliated with the Wagner PMC.
