"The city is under fire every day": the Armed Forces of Ukraine told whether there is a threat of Russian offensive on Kherson

At this stage of the war, Kherson is not in danger of a land offensive by Russian troops. Ukrainian footholds on the left bank will allow us to hold back the enemy.

However, Putin's army is shelling the right bank, including the regional center, every day. Dmytro Lykhovii, a spokesman for the Tavria operational and strategic group of troops, reported on the situation on the air of the United News telethon.

"There are no grounds to say that Kherson is threatened by any land assaults. Yes, unfortunately, Kherson experiences severe l attacks from Russian MLRS every day, but it is not threatened by a Russian offensive," the military said.

The General Staff of Ukraine reports that on September 1, two attempts by the occupiers to seize our positions took place in the Naddniprianskyi direction. The enemy's actions were unsuccessful.

Likhovii clarified that the invaders conducted these assaults without armored vehicles in small groups on Ukrainian footholds on the left bank. "Our troops did not lose any positions. The enemy has retreated," said the spokesman for the Tavria Brigade.

Taking into account Russian activity in other areas, especially in Pokrovsk, the situation in the area of responsibility of the Tavria Brigade can be described as more or less calm.
