Lately, the occupiers have been using armored vehicles more actively in the south, in the Zaporizhzhya region.

"The mechanized component has become more noticeable. Speaking about the most difficult directions in the south, it is mainly related to the Pokrovsk-Kurakhove vector, namely the Vremivka bulge. For instance, Russia conducted more than 20 assaults there the day before, and some combat clashes are still ongoing. The mechanized component is actively used," reported Serhiy Bratchuk, the spokesperson for the "South" Ukrainian Volunteer Army.

He noted that there are currently no active actions in the Orikhiv and Huliaipole directions.

"The enemy is relocating its units from there to the Vremivka direction, towards Velyka Novosilka. In the Prydniprovya direction, infantry and aviation are also engaged. Aviation is very active in the Zaporizhzhya direction. There is a direct threat to the regional center," Bratchuk noted.

Bratchuk emphasized that there is no need to panic, as it is not about a major Russian offensive on Zaporizhzhya.

"It is primarily about the use of aviation weapons. This is what currently poses the greatest threat to both the city and this direction. Everything else is under the control of the Defence Forces, the troops are ready for this, fortifications are in place," he added.
