An unverified video posted by @rinegati on Twitter, who has been documenting the invasion since it began, shows an intense fire, allegedly of a warehouse belonging to Russian forces. The video is said to have been filmed in Balka, Kherson, which has been the scene of heavy fighting in recent weeks as Ukraine attempts to retake the area.

The tweet reads: “It is reported that there are real miracles in Tomina Balka, Kherson region.

“The warehouse of the invaders evaporated, and a fire formed in its place.”

The exact cause of the blaze has not been verified.

Latest MoD update on Ukraine

The Ministry of Defence has claimed that despite Moscow’s attempts to contain the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south, it is still continuing its focus on conquering the Donbas region.

Russia’s main “axes of advance remain at Avdiivka near Donetsk City and, 60km to the north, around Bakhmut”

“Its forces have still only been advancing around 1km per week towards Bakhmut.”

Zelensky announces Ukraine takes three settlements

Last night Ukrainian president Zelensky thanked his forces for taking two settlements in the south along with a third in the east.

President Zelensky cited “good reports” from his military commanders and intelligence head.

He said:

“Kyrylo Tymoshenko, the deputy head of the president’s office, earlier posted an image of soldiers raising the Ukrainian flag over a village he said was in the southern area that is the main focus of the counter-offensive.

“Vysokopillya. Kherson region. Ukraine. Today,” Tymoshenko wrote on Facebook over a photograph of three soldiers on rooftops, one of them fixing a Ukrainian flag to a post.

Ukraine began the counter-offensive last week targeting the south, particularly the Kherson region, which Russia seized early in the conflict.

After Ukrainian forces’ intense shelling of clusters of Russian troops in the region, the Russians have banned movement of residents, forbidding them to cross the Dnipro River, the Ukrainian general staff said on Monday.

Russia has launched 25 missile strikes, and more than 22 air strikes, on military and civilian targets in Ukraine in the last 24 hours, the statement added, keeping up its focus on establishing full control over the Donetsk region.”
