Russian troops are conducting reconnaissance in force in the Zaporozhye region and are increasing the supply of weapons from the temporarily occupied Crimea, head of the joint press center of the Tauride Defense Forces Yevgeny Yerin said on the air of the telethon.

According to him, the occupiers attack in some areas in small reconnaissance groups of up to 10 people..

" These are small groups seeking, mostly on the ground, to test our line of defense.. And if this succeeds, then, if possible, the enemy in some areas is trying to improve his tactical position and take more advantageous positions for defense,"

He also added: " In recent days, for example, we destroyed three large ammunition depots, and immediately felt a lack of them on the battlefield - the enemy's fire wave decreased"
