Russian troops continue to draw up reserves and build defensive lines in the Kherson region. Unloading of equipment continues near the regional center: the russians have accumulated about 120 T-62 and BMP-2 for several days to strengthen their positions.

Tank positions are being set up in the area of Nova Kakhovka and Stepanovka, informed the report of the operational command "South" on Facebook.

"At the same time, our units are continuing offensive operations and measures to restrain and prevent the movement of reserves. Air reconnaissance with the help of the Orlan-10 UAV resulted in its loss. Then they used Mi-8 helicopters, with the help of which the enemy reconnoitered our positions and tried to attack them," the military said.

They added that during May 29 russians insidiously fired at Mykolaiv from artillery. The enemy hit the industrial infrastructure, children's sports complex, residential areas and retail outlets. One person was killed and one was injured.

However, the enemy also suffered losses. Last night, during the fire support of the offensive and the restraining operations by the rocket and artillery units in cooperation with the aircraft, the enemy lost: 67 occupiers, 6 T-62 tanks, 2 Grad MLRS , 3 Msta-S self-propelled howitzers, 3 units of armored vehicles and 13 vehicles. The unmanned reconnaissance command post and the command post of the enemy unit were also destroyed.

In the Black Sea, a naval group of enemy forces continues to threaten the territory of Ukraine with the missile attack. Despite the announced initiatives to organize humanitarian corridors to resume shipping, the enemy does not take measures to demine the sea, which underscores the falsity of their declared intentions.

“Do not ignore warnings of danger both in the air and along the coast. Remember that the defense forces took measures to prevent the landing, and the enemy mined the sea. In this regard, a beach holiday is not only dangerous, but also a provoking moment for the enemy, who, despite the laws and rules of war, does not neglect attacks on crowds of civilians. Be vigilant and attentive to both the environment and the information field. Don't let yourself be disoriented by inaccurate data," the defenders urged.

Odesa Regional Military Administration urges residents not to rest on the beaches and especially not to bring children there. The threat of missile strikes and mine danger persist.
