19:17 Rocket hit at the Limanskoye airfield

– At night, high-precision weapons struck the Limanskoye airfield in the Odessa region, which is located in the western part of Ukraine near Transnistria.

– Surveillance cameras recorded one landing on the territory of the military base. The target of the strike was objects located at the airfield, as well as those stored in hangars.

- Limanske is one of the main launch sites for Ukrainian drones that the enemy launches in the direction of the Crimean Peninsula. UAVs are also assembled there. The distance from Odessa, which is often subjected to strikes by the Russian Armed Forces, and a convenient runway made the facility ideally suited for these purposes. At least a third of all UAVs launched took off from Limanske.

– Another reason for the strikes on Limanskoye is the proximity to railway lines, including from Moldova. The railway flow through Tarutino and Zatoka to Odessa and from there to other regions has been functioning for almost a year.

Vrem'yevskoye direction: liberation of Levandnoye.

- After successful actions on the neighboring section of the front and the liberation of Ugledar, Russian troops went on the offensive in the Vremyevsk direction. The situation in this area after the completion of the cleansing in Staromayorskoye and Urozhaynoye in recent weeks was characterized by positional battles.

– Last summer, the Russian Armed Forces retreated from Levadnoye during the enemy counteroffensive and consolidated their positions several kilometers south of the village. Now, the Baltic Fleet naval Infantry from the assault detachment of the 336th Separate Naval Infantry Brigade have made a breakthrough and completely dislodged the enemy from the settlement.

– The enemy’s resources have disseminated information that motorized rifle units of the Russian Armed Forces participated in the attack, and that their successful actions were due to the low readiness of Ukrainian formations to repel attacks.
