Fighting in Kherson intensifies: more civilians on the run | Abroad

More residents of the Ukrainian city of Kherson will try to flee in the coming days. This is reported by the British intelligence services. Because the battle is getting fiercer in the region, there is also less food and drink available.

According to the British, Russian troops can no longer use an important train connection. It was destroyed by a Ukrainian attack. The Russians are likely to repair the connection quickly, but it remains a weak spot in the Russian army’s supply route, according to British intelligence.

Yesterday, three more civilians were killed as they tried to flee the Kherson region. They were killed when Russian soldiers fired mortar shells at the evacuation bus.

Fighting continues around the town of Bachmoet, in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk. “The enemy is mainly concentrating on this region,” the Ukrainian General Staff said.

According to Kiev, there was Russian artillery fire on settlements south of Bachmoet. “The aim was to push back our units, but the Russian attacks were partially repelled,” it said. The information has not yet been independently confirmed.
