The Operational Command South (OC South) shared the news.

Having no success on land, Russia continued to use aviation on the positions of our units. But 14 air strikes proved fruitless.

Instead, the country's aviation hit 2 strongholds and 2 areas of concentration of enemy weapons and equipment in the Novopetrivka and Maksimivka areas.

Continuing to fire on populated areas in the rear areas, Russia hit Velika Kostroma and Mykolaiv with Uragan MLRS, and Manganets was shelled with heavy artillery of the Pion type. There were no casualties.

23 Russian soldiers, a 152-mm howitzer gun, and 7 armored and automotive vehicles were destroyed by the missile and artillery units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces as part of the fire missions.

A Russian ammunition supply point was destroyed in Sukhyi Stavok. The final Russian losses are being investigated.

Due to stormy weather in the Black Sea, a ship group of Russian forces takes shelter along the coast of the Crimean peninsula in the direction of Novorossiysk. 2 missile launchers with 16 Kalibrs are on combat duty.
