russian forces have significantly intensified attacks along Ukraine’s southern front, particularly in the Dnipro River area, signaling preparations for a potential offensive. According to Vladyslav Voloshyn, spokesperson for the South Operational Command, the enemy is deploying up to 220 kamikaze drones daily, alongside guided aerial bombs, targeting settlements on the river’s right bank. This tactic is creating so-called dead zone along the contact line, potentially laying the groundwork for future assaults.

In addition, russian troops have increased artillery shelling by one-third, with intensified activity reported near Kherson, Ochakiv, and the Kinburn Spit. This uptick in firepower suggests a broader strategy aimed at ramping up pressure on Ukraine’s southern regions.

Ukrainian defenders are actively countering these threats with artillery, FPV drones, and other tools. On the Kinburn Spit alone, russian forces attempt five to seven assaults daily, seeking to establish a foothold on islands in the Dnipro Delta.

The situation along the southern axis remains tense, as Ukrainian forces hold their ground and prepare for potential renewed offensives.
