Russian forces launch assault on liberated Malynivka in Zaporizhzhia region — DeepState

The DeepState OSINT project reported the information.

"This morning, enemy assault groups launched active offensive operations in an area that had long been one of the quietest on the front," the report said.

The Russians, in numerous groups of up to 7 people, are conducting offensive operations to occupy Malynivka, but on the first day, the enemy entered the gray zone and infiltrated the forest belts east of the village. Some servicemen moved directly through the field in the hope of catching the Defense Forces by surprise, analysts say.

According to the Defense Forces, an interesting fact is that equipment is almost never seen, only buggies.

Given the specifics of the area, there are also shooting battles, as there is no large saturation of drones. Artillery and drones are working on the enemy forces. It is expected that the assault operations will continue tomorrow.

For reference, the de-occupation of the village of Malynivka by Ukrainian troops began on March 22, 2022.

• Andrii Demchenko, spokesman for the State Border Guard Service, said that Russian troops are trying to expand the combat zone with small infantry groups.
