What is happening in the Kherson region?
As Vladislav Voloshyn noted, on the indicated section of the front, the enemy activated its aviation and increased the number of drone strikes.
Moreover, the Russian army does not reduce the number of assault operations and artillery shelling on the positions of Ukrainian defenders and settlements adjacent to the line of combat contact.
Thus, it is indicated that in the Dnieper direction, the Russian invaders are conducting regrouping, logistical, evacuation, and reconnaissance activities to continue attempts to capture the island zone of the Dnieper.

"It is also trying to take control of several islands in the south of the island zone. In particular, these are Zabych, Nestryga, and Kozulysky. There, the enemy wants to "take" some kind of bridgehead, and then gradually — island by island, strait by strait — to carry out a landing on the right bank," Voloshyn explained.
