AFU Destroys Command Post Of Elite Airborne Assault Brigade Of Russian Federation

An ammunition depot has been blown up and 48 occupants have been liquidated.

Ukrainian soldiers have destroyed 48 Russian occupiers in the south.

This was announced on Facebook by a representative of the South Operational Command, Vladislav Nazarov.

According to him, the AFU aviation struck 7 places of deployment and concentration of enemy units: 6 strongholds, a concentration of weapons and military equipment and a command and control post in Beryslav and Kherson districts of the region.

"Generalized data on enemy losses indicate that 48 Rashists, 4 T-72 tanks, one hundred and fifty-two millimeter howitzer guns, self-propelled artillery unit, 3 armored vehicles and 3 vehicles have been eliminated along the southern steppes of Ukraine. The command post of the 11th separate airborne assault brigade of the Rashists and their ammunition depot near Pyatikhatka have been destroyed," Nazarov said, adding that the final losses of the enemy were still being investigated.

The ship grouping of enemy forces in the Black Sea remains unchanged: 2 missile carriers and 1 large landing ship are on guard, while the rest vessels and boats are in missile-safe sea areas near the Crimean peninsula.

"Therefore, the threats of a missile strike and an amphibious landing remain active in enemy plans," Nazarov said. In addition, mines may be drifting in the Black Sea after the storm.

It is also noted that the enemy continues to conduct combat operations, holding on to fortified defensive lines. They are trying to pull up reserves of manpower and hardware from the Crimean direction.

"Once again, the enemy forces amounting to a company tactical group with the involvement of reserves attempted to carry out offensive actions in the direction of Ishchenko to Bilohorka. Having suffered losses, they retreated," said Nazarov.

During the day, the enemy launched three strikes. In particular, at noon, two X-59 missiles were fired from planes in the direction of the temporarily occupied territory in Mykolaiv region. One of them hit close to Velike Artakove, the second one hit the outskirts of Kaluga.

An hour later, a pair of Ka-52s attacked Novohrigorievka, and in the evening pairs of attack aircraft and striking Ka-52s attacked Andriivka. There were no casualties in all three cases.

Earlier, an adviser to the head of the Kherson regional military administration said that the Russians were trying to set up a pontoon crossing at the destroyed Dar'ivka bridge.
