As of September 3, thanks to implemented countermeasures since August 27, no enemy drone has reached the M-14 road between Mykolaiv and Kherson. However, this does not imply that the road is safe: the military has recorded two attempts by Russia to deploy drones in the area.
This was reported by Colonel Oleksandr Zavtonov, spokesperson for the 30th Marine Corps.
"The situation on the M-14 Mykolaiv-Kherson road is under control. No enemy drones have reached the M-14 road due to the measures taken," - he emphasized.
However, as Zavtonov noted, this does not guarantee safety, as the enemy continues its terrorist intentions. Since the countermeasures began, Ukrainian forces have recorded two attempts by the enemy to launch drones near the road. They were timely destroyed. This means that countermeasures are ongoing, and work on enemy logistics continues, yielding positive results.
Zavtonov also reported that over the past day, the enemy attempted to conduct assault actions in the Kherson direction three times, using small group tactics. All these attempts ended unsuccessfully for the adversary: Ukrainian defenders timely detected the enemy and repelled all attacks.
According to the spokesperson, troops from the subordinate military units continue to inflict losses on the Russian invaders. Confirmed data indicates that within a day, the enemy lost 13 servicemen, along with 17 units of equipment. Other losses are still being assessed.
The spokesperson emphasized that Ukrainian defenders continue to control the situation in the Kherson direction, quickly reacting to enemy assault attempts and inflicting significant losses on the occupiers.
At the same time, Russian propaganda is spreading maps that allegedly show the "annexation" of Kherson, Mykolaiv, and other regions.
"In reality, this has nothing to do with the actual situation," - noted the spokesperson.
He pointed out that in the Kherson region, the enemy is unable to advance: all their assault attempts have been repelled, and losses in personnel and equipment are only increasing. Therefore, as always, they are trying to "compensate" for this by attacking the civilian population.
Russian drone attacks complicate the situation on the Kherson-Mykolaiv road, but logistics continue to function.
In the Kherson region, work on installing anti-drone nets has been ongoing for almost a year. Currently, roads are being reinforced using only those nets that have proven their resistance to both Russian UAV attacks and climatic changes.
