– Attack with small movements – NRK Urix – Foreign news and documentaries

While there are reports of new attacks on both Ukraine and Russia tonight, military experts are closely monitoring what is happening on the front south of the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia.

Ukraine pushed into the town of Verbov, and also appears to have destroyed an important supply route for Russian soldiers in the area.

Targeted attack

– It is an attack with small movements, but it is targeted. With their attacks, they are forcing the Russians to expose themselves in a way that allows Ukraine to attack with artillery and drones, Lieutenant Colonel Bali Yedstepo tells NRK.

Russia’s defense command is also frustrated with Ukraine’s success in neutralizing Russian artillery and artillery, according to Yedstepo. He believes this is because the Ukrainians have acquired better, more accurate and reliable Western weapons.

– When they (ed.anm.Ukrainians) can bring in artillery, they actually succeed in gaining sufficient artillery superiority to wage war on their own terms.

Attack on Odessa

A woman was injured in a Russian missile and drone attack on the coastal city of Odessa last night. Meanwhile, the port’s infrastructure has been damaged, says Governor Oleg Kiper.

A high-rise building in the city caught fire after the attack, but it was quickly extinguished. There was no one living in the building. The extent of the damage after the attack is not yet clear.

The Ukrainian Air Force says it shot down 19 Don missiles and 11 Russian missiles on Monday evening.

Ukrainian attack on Russia

There were also reports of a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia’s Kursk region. Several residential buildings and an administrative building were damaged, according to local authorities. The scale of the Ukrainian attack was also not clear Monday morning. Kursk lies on the border with Ukraine to the east.

Drone warfare

The Russian Defense Ministry announced that it was able to neutralize four drones over the northwestern part of the Black Sea and the Crimean Peninsula on Monday. There were no reports of damage.
