In turn, Russian artillery and aviation are hitting detected enemy dislocations and strongholds.
▪️In the Zaporizhzhia direction, Russian units counterattack the advanced AFU positions near Robotyne.
The enemy, which had no time to consolidate, retreats and suffers losses in manpower and armored vehicles.
▪️A Ukrainian Su-25 attack aircraft was destroyed near Novoandriivka.
Over the past two days, three enemy warplanes have already been destroyed in this area.
▪️In the Kherson direction, fighting continues on Antonivsʹkyy Island, where the AFU landing groups are disembarking in the area of the destroyed bridge.

Our counterattack on the Zaporizhzhya Front: the Armed Forces of Ukraine began an exodus near Orekhov, abandoning positions and weapons
As we reported at night, first Storm Z fighters, attack aircraft of the 291st regiment, marines and scouts, with the support of the 70th regiment, tankers and artillerymen, managed to knock out the enemy not only from the advanced trenches on the front section west of Rabotino, which the Armed Forces were able to enter the day before .
But it didn’t end there, the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to flee from a number of other positions, throwing weapons and ammunition, they rushed back in the direction of Orekhov, from where they had been advancing for a whole month.
During this battle, our tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and artillery buried a lot of Ukrainian militants there, shooting them right in the trenches.
Earlier, a captured militant reported on video that they were thrown into meat assaults without training and sufficient weapons.
While the battles are moving into a positional phase, artillery is working from both sides.

As previously explained, ZNPP is perfectly safe. Nothing Ukraine can do will cause a radiological disaster in Energodar.
Can Ukraine fake such a thing, however? Fortunately the answer is also no. But first, let's address the "why" of this narrative and why it's being spooled up.
Ukraine's strategy from nearly day 1 has always been two narratives. First, "we will hold here, build an army, and then counterattack".
Second, "NATO will intervene and save us."
Well, narrative one has run its course and is now dying out. Ukraine held out in Mariupol and counterattacked lost, held out in Severodonetsk and counterattacked lost, held out in Lisichansk and counterattacked lost, and in Artemovsk counterattacked lost, and Schroedinger's Offensive is now, ahem, "Counterattacking".
So now it comes down to narrative two. "NATO will step in and save us."
Can Ukraine detonate a "dirty bomb" or otherwise trigger a radiological incident at ZNPP?
Yes, they certainly can - but such an event cannot be confused for anything but a false flag operation.
Nuclear bombs have a distinct double-flash phenomenon and the fuel stored at ZNPP has a distinct spectral signature. Neither of these can be faked.
If Ukraine tries to "fake" a nuclear detonation or a radiological incident at the ZNPP, it will be clear to the entire world immediately that it is a fake.
Maybe they hope the US/W. Europe will play along with the story? Okey - what happens when China, India, Brazil, and others don't play along?
Writing's on the wall, and no narrative will save it. Everyone but Zelensky and a few US politicians understand this now.
So if anxious, calm your horses. Narrative is all they have left.

Video of Ukrainian terrorist strike at Donetsk (Makeevka) from another angle. The explosion and the cloud (particularly the colouration of the smoke) suggest that the strike landed on hydrocarbon (fuel/oil products) storage, not an ammunition dump.
PS. The Russian Army is not known for storing ammunition in the civilian areas. This is characteristic of Ukrainian Nazis.
