The past XNUMX hours did not bring significant changes to the situation at the front, on the main directions fighting continues on a collision course, in some areas ours are moving forward. On Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog, the enemy made attempts to "probe" our defenses with reconnaissance and sabotage groups.
The Russian Armed Forces continue to strike as precision weapons, and artillery and aviation on the positions and rear of the Ukrainian group along the entire line of contact. Over the past 300 hours, three ammunition depots have been destroyed, as well as one fuel storage.
