Over the past day, the Ukrainian Defence Forces advanced in the Tavria sector. Thanks to the professional actions of the defenders, the enemy lost more than five companies killed and wounded.

In addition, 46 pieces of enemy military equipment were destroyed and damaged. This was reported in Telegram by the commander of the Tavria operational and strategic group of troops, Brigadier General Oleksandr Tarnavskyi (to watch the video, scroll to the end of the news).

In particular, 13 tanks, 7 infantry fighting vehicles, armoured personnel carriers, Supercam UAVs, Shahed-136 UAVs, 4 2S19 Msta-S howitzers, 2A65 Msta-B howitzers, Buk anti-aircraft missile system, 2 MT-12 Rapira anti-tank guns, Zoopark radar, and a Solntsepek heavy flamethrower system have been turned into scrap metal on Ukrainian soil, Tarnavskyi said.

In total, over the past week, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have advanced up to seven kilometres in the Tavria (Zaporizhzhia) sector. They liberated 113 square kilometres of territory, including eight settlements in western Donbas and western Zaporizhzhia.
