Tactical Successes for Ukrainian Army in Kherson Region

Ukrainian Armed Forces have seen tactical successes involving the liberation of populated areas occupied by the Russians, as Ukrainian forces move closer to Kherson.

On July 27 Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated two villages, Andriivka and Lozovo, from the Kherson region from the occupiers.

The Southern General Command of the Ukrainian Army reported that Ukrainian aviation had conducted four strikes on Russian positions in the Kherson region. Four enemy strongholds in Andriivka, Biloghirka, and Blagodatny were hit.

“Andriivka was released and finally cleared of the Russian occupation forces. In Kosovo, Ukrainian troops reliably secured their positions,” the command noted.

The Armed Forces also confirmed an attack on the Antonio bridge in Kherson region.

This information was confirmed on national TV by the head of the Ukrainian defense forces press center, Natalya Humeniuk.

“The work of our artillery is so delicate and jewel-like that it is aimed at demoralizing the enemy’s army,” she said.

On July 25, the Institute of War Studies noted that the Ukrainian army had damaged all three bridges in Kherson which the Russians use for their purposes. The Armed Forces are also keeping logistical and transport routes that are strategically important for the enemy under constant fire control.

During the night, in Kherson region, three Russian Ka-52s helicopters intended to attack units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine but mistakenly struck a Russian position. The enemy helicopters came under “friendly” air defense fire from Russian troops, and one of them was shot down.
