Previously 🇷🇺 occupied towns #Oleksandrivka, #Soldatske, #Myrne seem to be liberated and mop up operations are ongoing in these area's. Also 🇺🇦 forces have reached #Tomnyabalka and are squizing 🇷🇺 troops in the #Stanislav pocket cutting supply routes south of #Tomnyabalka.

Troops caught in the #Stanislav pocket consist of LPR/DNR conscript troops,VDV units & photo's on social media show units of the 22 Guards Spetznas transferred to the area after fighting @ #Mariupol. Source confirms VDV snipers 5 km north of #Shyrokabalka engaged by 🇺🇦artillery.

Apparently newly formed 🇺🇦 units consisting of donated T72 MBT's and newly received IFV's together with battle hardend troops from #Mykolaiv are active on this front. According to Firms data there has been heavy shelling in this area. You can see movement east in this data sets

Just to zoom in in this two area's on the 13th active shelling was around #Lymany & #Lupareve 🇺🇦 controlled. Seems 🇷🇺 tried to stop the advance. However the 16th fighting has shifted to the NE of #Oleksandrivka which is 15 km from their starting point.

Another interesting area is located on the other side of the gulf of Dniprovska. Area's east & west of the town of #Heroiske seem to be hit which indicates it might be a staging area for 🇷🇺 artillery or AA capability.Distance to the town of #Lupareve is 20 km placing it in reach.

🇺🇦 artillery shelling continued on 16th & 17th more to the east @ Hola Prystan' at what looks like a military installation of some sort.
The #Kherson offensive seems to gain momentum.
