The Strategic Communications Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that Russian forces in Kherson Oblast are vulnerable to strikes due to poorly located ammunition depots.

Russian ammunition depots in Kherson Oblast are located 30-40 km away from advanced positions, placing them within range of Ukrainian HIMARS systems.

Russian warehouses in the north and northeast of Kherson Oblast are known to Ukrainian forces and considered insufficient for supporting large strike groups.

On Aug 3, 2022 the connection was cut off: in the morning of that day, the occupiers took Oleksandr away. He went out into the yard to do some chores - he came out in the same clothes he had slept in. And our house was, you could say, already surrounded.

Serhiy Ofitserov was arrested at his father's apartment in Kherson on August 3 by four men (one armed, three in civilian clothes). They knew his name and the layout of the apartment, indicating prior surveillance. The arrest took about 10 minutes.

Military expert Oleg Zhdanov claimed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces can close logistics to Russian troops on the right bank of the Dnipro by destroying pontoon crossings and the sluice bridge at Kakhova HES.

Zhdanov stated that if supply routes are closed, Russian logistics would be reduced to transferring supplies 'by the teaspoon' via small boats and swimming, which he described as insulting to the troops.
