Thanks to a tip from @bayraktar_1love about Russian presence at #Chornobaivka chicken farm in #Kherson. It appears that the Russians used at least part of the facility. Locals say that the Russians used the nearby quarry for a firing range. Today it all appears abandoned.
Some time in early September, a building on the north edge of the #Chornobaivka chicken farm was destroyed. According to locals, from incoming Ukrainian rockets. 46.68282 32.5588
During the month of June, closer to the highway, it appears that the Russians dug 3-4 vehicle revetments into the side of a parking lot and used the building along the road. 46.6864 32.5605
Just like the #Chornobaivka airbase, it's all been deserted.

Looks like the Russians finished creating a barge bridge over the #Dnipro near #Kherson in the past 24 hours. Imagery from Oct 18 show a barge pushing the last parts into place at 0814 UTC. This allows Russia to resupply faster or to evacuate quickly. It's also an easy target.🤔
@GeoConfirmed Barge bridge complete at #Kherson on 18 October. Last barge being placed at 46.6658 32.7206.
And on the 17th there was more activity of Russian military vehicles waiting while others crossed by ferry. Same waiting location in a field around 46.7 32.8, just north of Prydniprovs'ke, east of #Kherson. Lots of trucks headed away from Kherson.
Since Aug, 70km of a natural gas pipeline was laid between #Melitopol and Marynivka, #Zaporizhia Oblast, #Ukraine. This will likely connect to #Berdyansk. Melitopol has been without gas for months. The connection could be complete within the next few weeks. @GeoConfirmed
A KML version of the pipeline trace can be downloaded here for import into your favorite mapping tools. This was created based on satellite imagery from August and September 2022. drive.proton.me/urls/TES5W9RE8…
The occupation government in #Luhansk, #Ukraine is pushing people to a telegram channel to get info about the referendum. Good #OSINT feed? t.me/budem_zhit 🤔
Apparently the LPR occupation authorities need to take a break while counting the ballots...
"The Department of the People's Militia of the Luhansk People's Republic reports that during the period of the referendum, the departments of the military commissariat will not work."
Situation around #antonovskiybridge in #Kherson hasn't changed. Sep 15 images show the ferries in use nearby, and empty barges. But... 🧵 1/
Looking back at radar and optical imagery since Sep 6 we can see many boats, some confirmed as pontoon ferries, operating east of the rail bridge near #Kherson. Here's a map with the locations plotted on different dates. Where does the ferry land? 🤔2/
