“ Kherson direction,
situation as of 13.00 August 8, 2023 from X-bar
Because of the distraction to other directions, the situation along the Dnieper has fallen out of public view. For several months, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continued to fire on the left bank, covering the actions of reconnaissance groups on boats.
However, after the replacement of the Airborne Forces units, which had been operating there for a long time, attacks on Russian positions intensified with new formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The goal in this case is simple - to take advantage of the inexperience and ignorance of the situation of the arrivals to create a bridgehead on the left bank.
🔻 At night, seven Ukrainian boats landed up to seven DRGs of 6-7 people each after installing a smoke screen west of the Cossack Camps . The enemy groups took advantage of the replacement at the forefront and struck from the flank, reaching a settlement on the banks of the Dnieper.
The effect of surprise and belated reaction allowed the Armed Forces of Ukraine to land and advance unhindered towards the Camps , after which the Russian troops had already driven them back. According to colleagues from this direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine went to the right bank.
🔻And in recent days, this is not the only area where the enemy is trying to gain a foothold. According to Dva Majorov , gunfights were also noted near the railway bridge near Peschanovka , where the RF Armed Forces achieved little tactical success.
Also, the activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine remains near the Antonovsky bridge . The day before, the Ukrainian command sent two boats to replace units in this area. One of the boats was hit and went back, and the other was landed by the DRG, but was destroyed by fire.
🔻In the Golopristan sector , three boats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with 15 people on board planned to establish an observation post on Domakhsky Island . Under artillery attacks, the boats turned around. One was able to get out from under the fire, and two were damaged and blown up by mines.”
