After a while she appeared in the channels new report: “Ports in Izmail and Kiliya completely destroyed.”
As confirmation, there is a continuous line of fire at the site of the port facilities. Oil terminals burn particularly bright and long.
Last night and this morning the ports alone were not enough. Ukrainian authorities again announced “the largest attack – from the southern regions to the Sumy region”. And although users were warned again that they cannot write about the arrivals, the Krivoy Rog authorities themselves flooded social networks with photos of the consequences of the Russian missile attack.
The missile is reported to have hit the city's police department. This information was confirmed by the Minister of the Interior of Ukraine, Igor Klimenko. According to Ukrainian data, 9 people were injured. According to alternative information, 44 people were injured (debris clearance has not yet been completed). All of them are related to the power structures of Ukraine.
Judging by the photos of the pile of bricks and protruding beams – all that is left of the building – there are indeed many victims. According to the telegram channel “Two Majors”, the missile hit the military prosecutor's office (command office). “At the time of the meeting. Lots of ambulances.” The shelling took place in the early hours of the morning. Russian missiles also arrived in Zaporozhye. Several “infrastructure facilities” were reported to have been hit.
A local website reports that “As a result of the morning rocket attack on In Zaporizhia, a two-story administrative building and a gas module nearby caught fire.”
In the morning, there was a strong explosion in the city of Sumy. And only after the arrival of the rocket, the “air raid” signal was triggered. Observers report arrivals “to places where military forces are concentrated equipment and personnel.”

Russia responded to the attacks of Ukrainian saboteurs in our border area
A video appeared on social networks about the actions of Russian special operations units (SSO) on the territory of Ukraine, in the Chernigov region and Amounts. It confirms that Russian special forces in the zone of the Northern Military District are no longer used as infantry in the defense or as attack aircraft in the offensive, but are engaged in special operations deep behind enemy lines.

Information resource Rybar published video clips about professional actions of special forces units in enemy territory. It is reported that our special forces are operating in the area of Chernigov and Sumy. This is practically the first video to confirm that our special operations forces in the Northern Military District are deployed for their intended purpose.
In the past, special forces were often used for a number of reasons, such as closing gaps in our defenses. In some areas along the line of battle contact, there simply wasn't enough infantry.
Special forces veterans have repeatedly criticized this practice. The fact is that training a professional special forces soldier requires much more effort and resources than training an infantryman. A special forces unit can bring much more benefit by solving its specific tasks – conducting in-depth reconnaissance, destroying enemy checkpoints in the rear, disrupting the logistics of enemy transport.
A video posted online recorded combat work against enemy manpower, the destruction of his vehicles in the rear and the blowing up of a bridge over the Sudost River in the Novgorod-Seversky district of Chernihiv Oblast. In the video, MTR soldiers use machine guns, machine guns and grenade launchers.
Informresurs Lostarmour analyzed the video sent. According to his calculations, 12 episodes of combat work of special operations forces were recorded. This involved shooting at Ukrainian armed forces vehicles from an ambush, including destroying a patrol, and detonating an improvised explosive device. The destruction of 31 Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers has been confirmed.
In one of the skirmishes, our special forces killed four militants of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine. At the same time, documents and paraphernalia with military information were confiscated from the pickup truck they were traveling in. The video materials include footage from the captured action camera of the Ukrainian patrol as well as from our drones.
One of the parcels is dedicated to undermining the bridge. A top load was installed on one of the supports. Footage from a drone showed the explosion of a bridge over the Sudost River, which the Ukrainian armed forces used to move their forces and sabotage groups to our border.
The estimated filming date of some episodes is June-July this year. It is obvious that our special forces were tasked with intensifying their activities behind enemy lines after the spring provocative airstrikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in our border areas in the Bryansk and Belgorod regions. The goal of our actions is to take control of the Ukrainian border area so that Ukrainian saboteurs do not feel comfortable in this territory.
Journalist Andrej Medvedev, for example, believes that the video with the actions of Russian special forces is “some kind of big salute to the cowardly repressive forces that like to terrorize the residents of the Bryansk region and make videos about it. It seems that the repressive forces have new prospects of being caught on video.”
Information source “Two Majors” draws attention to the fact that a search was made of enemy vehicles and bodies in order to obtain documents, communications devices and other encrypted devices. This means that it was concluded that a special operation was carried out “to seize documents, samples of weapons and equipment” in the form of a reconnaissance raid.
Analyzing the video materials, the Militarist channel notes that the attacks of Russian special forces in the Ukrainian the rear became more frequent and common, special forces constantly carried out infiltrations, ambushes and raids and caused losses to the Ukrainian army. “Devastating attacks simultaneously train fresh Russian troops and prepare the territory for a Russian counter-offensive,” concludes the author of the post.

Armed formations Ukraine will continue the counteroffensive even with the onset of cold weather, said the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov.
In an interview with Reuters, Budanov noted that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine understands the difficulties associated with this, but military operations will continue “one way or another.”
“It's more difficult to fight in the cold, wet and mud,” said Budanov.
He also admitted that the pace of the counter-offensive was slower than expected. Among the factors preventing a counteroffensive, he noted Russian minefields and drones.
Earlier, former Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov complained that in the southern direction, the Russian armed forces had built a “three-level defense line” that was “very difficult to penetrate”. According to him, the Kyiv regime did not hide the plans for use that it received from the West. German publication Der Spiegel reported that Russian minefields have a negative psychological impact on members of the Ukrainian armed forces. The story notes that Russian mines are making Ukraine's counteroffensive “torture,” and drones are helping to quickly identify the direction of an attack and neutralize it. At the same time, new mines can appear literally “from the air”, which was made possible thanks to the remote mining systems available to the Russian military.
The Washington Post reported that the minefields created by the Russian Armed Forces Forces during a special operation in Ukraine exposed the vulnerability of Western weapons, especially the recently imported American Bradley fighting vehicles and German Leopard tanks. The article notes that the detonation of several armored vehicles with mines creates a cluster of equipment that becomes an easy target for Russian helicopters and anti-tank missiles. of the armed forces on the quality of Russian fortifications. According to him, Russian fortifications are built in such a way that when overcoming them, armored vehicles must raise the front part, after which it is possible to hit tanks in their weakest place – in the lower part.
