00:00 Ukrainian forces appear to have conducted a limited raid across the Dnipro River and
00:08 landed on the east bank of the Kherson region, says the Institute for the Study of War in
00:13 its latest report.
00:15 Although Ukrainian officials say that the reported raid is not confirmed by the military
00:20 general staff at this stage.
00:22 Now several Russian mail bloggers reported that Ukrainian forces landed up to seven boats,
00:28 each killing around six to seven people on the east bank of the Dnipro near the Russian
00:34 occupied village of Kozachi Lagari here, broke through Russian defensive lines and advanced
00:41 up to 800 meters deep.
00:45 Hotspots on available NASA fire information for resource management system data from the
00:49 past 24 hours in the area appear to confirm that there was significant combat likely preceded
00:56 or accompanied by artillery fire.
00:59 Moscow appointed administration of the occupied parts of Kherson region downplayed the reports
01:04 of the Ukrainian landing and claimed that Russian artillery fire repelled the Ukrainian
01:08 boats and that there are no Ukrainian troops in this area.
01:13 However, the majority of prominent Russian mail bloggers claimed that Ukrainian forces
01:19 did manage to use tactical surprise and land on the east bank here in Kozachi Lagari before
01:28 engaging Russian forces in small arms exchange.
01:31 Ukrainian forces first established a bridgehead on the Russian controlled east bank of the
01:35 Dnipro River near the Antonivsky bridge in June.
01:41 Later in July, Moscow appointed administration of the occupied parts of Kherson region said
01:46 it had been eliminated.
01:48 The Institute for the Study of War says in its latest update that Ukrainian forces are
01:53 present on the east bank, although it remains unclear whether Ukrainian troops have established
01:58 an enduring presence.
