Ukraine makes gains in counteroffensive against Russian forces.

Russian forces are conducting reconnaissance efforts to gather data for future missile attacks on Ukraine, according to the spokesperson for Operational Command South. The Russians are using uncrewed "scouts" to collect data, including searching for targets in the rear. The Russians are particularly interested in the Ochakiv direction and the axis along the right bank of the Dnipro. Ukrainian forces are working covertly to surprise the enemy and have had recent successes in taking down Russian invaders, artillery units, and boats. Four Russian ships, including a Kalibr cruise missile carrier, are currently on combat duty in the Black Sea.
