Ukraine has broken through part of Russia’s main defensive line on the country’s southern front for the first time, The Telegraph reported, citing video footage from the front lines. Kiev’s armored vehicles were photographed outside the first network of trenches, anti-tank ditches and Russian minefields: “Ukraine appears to have advanced towards a breakthrough of the so-called Surovikin Line,” the British newspaper wrote. Ukrainian forces had already broken through the defensive positions with small infantry attacks to eliminate Russian trenches in the direction of the village of Verbov in the Zaporizhya region.

A missile attack was carried out on the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the city of Sevastopol in Crimea. This was stated by Governor Mikhail Razvozaev on his Telegram channel. “The enemies launched a missile attack on the fleet headquarters. The governor said that shrapnel fell near the Lunacharsky Theater, explaining that all emergency services had arrived at the site and the possibility of casualties was being assessed.

“Tensions between Warsaw and Kiev will increase.” These are the forecasts of Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who said that Poland and Ukraine remain “the main centers of Russophobia.” Peskov added: “We are monitoring all this closely,” expressing his conviction that “friction between Kiev and other European capitals will also grow over time, which is inevitable.”

Explosions were heard for the second time this morning in Kherson, southern Ukraine, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing local Telegram channels.
