The invaders continue to shell the Left Bank of the Kherson region, terrorizing the local population. Nevertheless, the Russians are also shelling settlements on the Right Bank.

This was told to Channel 24 by the head of the press center of the Operational Command “South” Natalya Gumenyuk. According to her, the occupying military equipment leaves Oleshky and Nova Kakhovka, is located at a certain distance and imitates the shelling of Ukraine.

During the day, the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine completed more than 100 fire missions

The head of the press center of OK “South” noted that tough information work is being carried out in the occupied territory of the Right Bank of the Kherson region, narratives are being imposed that the armed forces and defense forces of Ukraine are allegedly “shelling” settlements, not sparing people.

However, it is precisely our counter-battery work from the right bank to the left that is very concentrated – each time these are clearly calibrated positions. she remarked.

Gumenyuk said that over the past day, Ukrainian units completed more than 100 fire missions, but each of them was addressed to a specific point. A specific checkpoint, a point of concentration of enemy manpower, was destroyed.

As a result, we got at least 30 killed and more than 20 wounded invaders. We clearly collect information about what the result of our firework was. The observation post, which is still being deployed by the enemy on the Left Bank, was also destroyed, since they need to collect information about what is happening on the Right Bank, she noted.

According to her, there is a very discouraging moral and psychological state among the personnel of the occupiers. They do not see prospects, they do not see, in particular, the logistics that the Ukrainian defenders are successfully cutting off from the units that they have already managed to dig in and mark on the defense lines.

“And this work continues,” Gumenyuk stressed.

Conscripts dragged from Chelyabinsk to Crimea

She noted that the occupiers were planning some work on the DRG, which were supposed to penetrate the Right Bank. To do this, civilian surface watercraft were crowded from the local population. The enemy tried to rebuild them – to strengthen the sides, to fix the weapons.

And such prepared boats they accumulated in places of concentration. But over the past weeks, these places have been worked out. More than 10 such light-engine boats were destroyed. And now the DRG has nothing to move to the Left Bank,” she stressed.

Also, the head of the press center OK “South” said that new fortifications are being built in the Crimea.

“Even from Chelyabinsk, conscripts were dragged there, who still don’t know how to shoot well, but are starting to turn into professionals in the construction of defensive structures. That is, this is an engineering unit that can dig in. As they say in an old Odessa joke: “Let them get used to the ground,” she emphasized Natalya Gumenyuk.

The situation in the South direction: briefly

• On the Left Bank of the Kherson region, enemies seize boats and watercraft from civilians. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that for this, the occupiers even searched the houses of civilians.
• In the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, the Russians stepped up the work of propagandists. They are filming objects that the invaders themselves fired on the day before in order to discredit the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
• The Kinburn Spit is now in the so-called “grey” zone. However, the invaders feel the powerful fire influence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there.
