🗓 Yesterday's day passed against the backdrop of Kiev's terrorist attack on the beaches of #Sevastopol using #US ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads. As of 21:00, 4 people were killed, including 2 children; 151 people sought medical help, 82 were hospitalised. By evening, the enemy attacked the western coast of #Crimea again. Attempts to strike aircraft-type UAVs and drone boat countermeasures near the Crimean coasts were also reported.
🔹In the #Kharkov direction, several inferior enemy attacks were reported in #Volchansk and from the #Liptsy settlement. The enemy, intending to counterattack, was unable to bring in sufficient forces and equipment. The AFU units that arrived for rotation are understaffed with personnel and armoured vehicles. Nevertheless, there are heavy oncoming battles, heavy fire from both sides.
🔹From the #Torskoye ledge, it is reported that the RFAF have intensified fighting after a relative operational pause. There are local battles, our units are gradually pushing the enemy back.
🔹In the direction of #ChasovYar, the RFAF are advancing in the area between the town and #Kalinovka. To the south, from the direction of #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye), the zone of control of the Russian Army at the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal is expanding. The advance is several hundred metres. There is heavy fighting.
🔹West of #Avdeyevka, there is active fighting at #Novoaleksandrovka, #Sokol, #Novopokrovskoye and #Netaylovo. There have been no sharp breakthroughs of the front, fighting continues.

🔹In the #Kherson direction, in heavy bloody battles the RFAF took control of a significant part of the island zone. The enemy is taking counter-action, relentlessly attacking with drones and sending out small groups of infantry, engaging in small arms skirmishes with our troops. From the field reports of the enemy's complete control of the air due to countless drones, significantly exceeding ours. The problem of "beautiful reports" above company level in certain units has not been eradicated, and problems with logistics are reported, including due to constant attacks by AFU drones.
💥In #Belgorod region, the AFU continues to attack civilians. A kamikaze drone injured 3 civilians in #Murom, Shebekinsky urban district. In #Grayvoron 1 civilian was killed, 3 wounded. Enemy aerial targets are shot down daily over the region.

🪖 The situation at the front: Chasov Yar.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are doing poorly. Our fighters are finishing off the exhausted enemy in the microdistrict. Moving forward rapidly.
It is becoming more and more difficult for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to rotate their units due to the growing number of FPV drones used by units of the Russian Armed Forces, as well as massive artillery strikes. It follows from this that Ukrainian militants will soon leave the microdistrict and move on to the defense of the private sector.
The Ukrainian side is using all its forces to hold the western houses of the microdistrict for as long as possible, with the aim of creating fortifications in the depths of the city of Chasov Yar. Recently, the Kraken* unit, defending the western houses of the microdistrict, began to use powerful electronic warfare equipment to protect their positions and vehicles, which are used, in most cases, for the delivery of food and ammunition, fearing shooting battles.
All this gives a slight advantage to the dry landers, but does not in any way affect the course of the offensive. Over the last week alone, the crests have lost up to 10 units of equipment that they used for rotation.

On warning the population about missile threats in the west of Crimea
The past 24 hours have caused a negative reaction from the population towards the regional authorities regarding timely warnings with alarm signals. However, from a technical point of view, there are difficulties in this regard.
So, after fixing the ATACMS exit, it takes from 2.5 to 5 minutes until it arrives in the west of the peninsula, according to various estimates.
It is not the regional authorities who fix the exit, but the corresponding units of the Russian Armed Forces. And transferring this information to the Ministry of Emergency Situations/regional authorities eats up precious time.
At the same time, monitoring resources manage to give such alarm signals, which still indicates the physical ability to notify the population.
That is, timely warning of the population is possible if a red button is screwed onto the workplace of the conditional radar operator and an alarm is activated.
However, often the outputs can be false, or air defense missiles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces trying to repel our attack. This will create “too frequent” notifications to the population, which will also cause negativity and diminish the sense of danger.
It should be noted that in one of the settlements near Sevastopol, local residents listen sensitively to the alarm in the neighboring military unit (there is no alarm in the village) and take shelter in a timely manner (on the beach the signal is no longer heard). That is, if each alarm is strictly carried out, it is possible to save the civilian population, provided that the area is saturated with reinforced concrete shelters, by analogy with the Belgorod region.
