Situation as of 20.00 July 5, 2023
Against the background of the activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in other areas, a lull arose in the Orekhovsky and Kamensky directions. Nevertheless, since the night the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been conducting intense fire action, preparing for new attacks.
Units of the 128th brigade, as well as the 47th and 65th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, are restoring their combat capability. The losses of the enemy assault detachments are significant. In the companies that participated in the battles, the percentage of dead varies from 50 to 85% .
🔻However, the transfer of people and equipment to the LBS does not stop. Recently, columns of military equipment, including tanks and buses with personnel, passed through Veselyanka and Volnyanka .
From the Orekhovsky sector to Kamensky, the movement of the formations of the 117th and 118th Ombre of the 10th Army Corps was completed. In Stepnogorsk , a forward point of 10th AK of command and control has been equipped. A similar headquarters of 9 AK is deployed in Malaya Tokmachka .
❗️ Judging by the situation, the Ukrainian command is planning a simultaneous attack by forces of the 9th and 10th corps, as well as the Marun tactical group. And now it is the direction of Vasilievka that is a priority.
It would seem that such an offensive would be coordinated with the actions at the Zaporizhzhya NPP, however, stuffing about provocations so far looks more like part of an information operation to whip up panic.
In addition, most of the enemy formations sharply decreased from the Nikopol-Vyshetarasovka line. And, conversely, activity increased at the bend of the dried-up Kakhovka reservoir on the Maryanskoye-Zolotaya Balka line.
In the last three or four months, the forces of 121 troop troop units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been trained to cross water barriers. This may indicate a possible strike from this direction to cover the ZNPP from the south.
