In the south, the Russians continue shelling the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and blocking Ukrainian ports. They also went to sea on a UAF boat captured in Berdyansk under a blue and yellow flag.. Therefore, they are probably preparing a provocation. This was reported in the Operational Command "

“One of the small armored artillery boats of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, captured by the Rashists in Berdyansk at the beginning of the invasion, was discovered near the island of Zmeiny. In all likelihood, the enemy will try to use such a boat, also under the Ukrainian flag, in their provocations with the shelling of foreign civilian ships, and maybe the coastal areas of both Ukraine and other states of the Black Sea region,"

The general situation in the Black Sea remains tense: “The naval grouping of enemy forces in the Black Sea continues to block shipping and ports almost unchanged. Threats of missile strikes and amphibious landings do not lose their relevance..

Along the line of collision in Mykolaiv and Kherson regions over the past day, the Russian military carried out three raids by Mi-8 helicopters in groups of 2-3 units on the positions of Ukrainian troops. Our units fired on one attack by a helicopter troika, so they forced them to run away to their original positions.

The Russians continue to shell settlements on the front line, including with the Giacint-B gun.

One shell hit a residential building, but did not detonate, but wounded a civilian. The projectile was neutralized by the State Emergency Service, the victim received assistance.

In a day in the south, Ukrainian defenders eliminated 20 Russian soldiers, two self-propelled artillery mounts, one anti-aircraft mount and vehicles.
