These figures are similar to those for the #Kharkiv-#Kherson offensive in 2022, and show cost control by the belligerents.

The offensive axes diagram now shows progress along the axes (to be completed tomorrow).

sector 3/ towards #Orikhiv, no tactical gains

(i) In the #Robotyne axis, NTR

NTR = no offensive, but artillery exchanges, recce, special operations (in short, a war of positions)
as here, the 47th Brig Meca destroys objects

(ii) In the #Vassylivka axis, assaults with uncertain outcome

It commands access to the T-0812 which joins the M-18 north of the #Vassylivka crossroads and has the advantage (and danger) of passing between the fortifications.

It will be difficult to control as it is dominated by the high

In this area, the fire supports and their counter-battery resources must be reduced.

here, ground artillery reconnaissance station SNAR-10 "Leopard" destroyed

There are major movements of troops and equipment from the Russian rear to the front
