Having fired 103 units of various ammunition.

The areas of three settlements of the Republic were under enemy fire: Gorlovka, the capital city of Donetsk (Kuibyshevsky, Kyiv, Kirovsky, Petrovsky districts), Aleksandrovka.

Over the past day, there were no reports of civilian casualties.

Three residential buildings were damaged in the Kievsky district of Donetsk and Oleksandrivka, as well as one civil infrastructure facility.

19:50 Russian artilleryman with the call sign "Mole" is divided new information from the Zaporozhye direction.

“It was more intense. Now it's a little quieter. Well, it is on our gun - a little quieter,” he says.

The fighter is confident that the Russian soldiers will successfully beat off all attempts by Ukrainian nationalists to continue the offensive:

17:49 APU are planning advance along the bottom of the dried-up Kakhovka reservoir, but it can become a new cemetery for them.

Here are some of the reasons why this might happen:

— although the river narrowed, it remained — and it also needs to be overcome somehow, to build pontoons. This quickly unmasks the direction of impact;

- The RF Armed Forces could restore minefields, and install them somewhere additionally;

- ATGM operators will sit in camouflaged fortifications, and the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the territory of the shredded reservoir will be in full view.

14:00 Judging by the heavy fighting on our bank of the Dnieper in the area of Antonovsky bridge (reported that actively works aviation and artillery), we are not talking about any coming out. Most likely, the Ukrainian militants are trying to capture and expand the bridgehead on the left bank and are trying to debug the logistics, without which attempts to gain a foothold are doomed to failure.

Without a stable crossing of the Dnieper, the only thing the Ukrainian army will achieve is a significant replenishment of the list of 200 missing.
