Offensive of Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kherson region: Russians forces are trying to consolidate new front line - British intelligence
The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue their offensive in the Kherson region, the Russian military retreated approximately 20 km north of the Kherson sector and are trying to consolidate a new front line.
This is reported by the military intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain.
"After retreating around 20km in the north of the Kherson sector in early October, Russian forces are likely attempting to consolidate a new front line west from the village of Mylove," the report says.
Heavy fighting continues along this line, especially at the western end where Ukrainian advances mean Russia’s flank is no longer protected by the Inhulets River. Most of the Russia troops on this front line remain understrength VDV (airborne) units.
In recent days, the Russian occupation authorities have likely ordered preparation for the evacuation of some civilians from Kherson. It is likely that they anticipate combat extending to the city of Kherson itself.
