Ukraine Pravda reports:

A Ukrainian group took control of the road that connects the settlements of Poima, Kozachi Laheri, and Krynky. Ukrainian troops still control part of Krynky, hold positions near the Antonivka road and the railway bridge and have moved reserves to the islands in the Dnipro River delta and are trying to break through to the villages of Poima and Pishchanivka. Ukrainian forces continue to ferry personnel across the Dnipro River by boat at various locations.

A Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group landed close to Pidstepne (20 kilometres east of Kherson and 3 kilometres from the Dnipro River), where they took control of a section of the road that connects the settlements of Poima, Kozachi Laheri, and Krynky.
