"Against the backdrop of the revision and extension of the grain agreement with regard to the timing and expansion to Mykolayiv ports, the occupiers intensified mortar and cannon artillery attacks on the waters of the Dnipro-Buh estuary in the direction of Ochakiv and the Kutsurub community. The enemy fired mortars and cannon artillery at the waters of the Ochakiv community," it said.

According to the OC South, there was no damage to infrastructure and no casualties.
