"In breaking the offensive launched by Zelensky's personal order, the Ukrainian army suffered huge losses in the direction of Mykolaiv and Kryvyi Rih, as well as in other directions. With the effective action of the Russian army in the past 24 hours, 48 tanks, 46 infantry fighting vehicles, 37 other armored combat vehicles, eight pickup trucks with large-caliber machine guns, and more than 1.200 Ukrainian militants were liquidated," Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov told reporters.
When repelling the enemy's offensive, the Russian army destroyed the detachments of the 128th Special Mountain Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which was transferred there from western Ukraine.
"Five soldiers of this brigade laid down their weapons and surrendered," said Konashenkov.

In the area of Alexandrovka in the Dnipropetrovsk region, the Russian army liquidated more than 200 militants, including 40 foreign mercenaries, with high-precision land-based weapons.
In the past 24 hours, the Russian aviation, as announced, destroyed the production facilities of the JSC "INTERVZRIVPROM" factory in Kryvyi Rih, where explosives intended for the Ukrainian army were made.
