Over the past day, the Ukrainian military in the southern direction eliminated 20 occupiers, two self-propelled artillery, one anti-aircraft, and motor vehicles, informs the Facebook page of the Operational Command South.
The enemy continues air reconnaissance to identify our positions and methods of counteraction along the coast of Odesa and Mykolayiv.
"The naval group of enemy forces in the Black Sea is almost unchanged, and continues to block shipping and port operations. Threat of missile strikes and landings do not lose their relevance," the statement said.
One of the small armored artillery boats of the Ukrainian Navy, which was captured by the rushists in Berdyansk at the beginning of the invasion, was found near Zmiiny Island.
"It is likely that the enemy will try to use such a boat, even under the Ukrainian flag, in their provocations with the shelling of foreign civilian vessels, and perhaps coastal areas of Ukraine and other countries in the Black Sea region," said the Command.
Ukrainian defenders in the area of responsibility of Task Force East killed 62 russian invaders.
