Russian command relocated airborne troops from Kozachi Laheri to Zaporizhzhia Oblast

Around seven boats carrying Ukrainian troops disembarked on the east bank of the Dnipro River near Kozachi Laheri

Ukrainian forces appear to have conducted a limited raid across the Dnipro River and landed on the east (left) bank of Kherson Oblast, although it remains unclear whether Ukrainian troops have established an enduring presence on the east bank.

By the end of the day, Russian 'military commanders' began to claim that the Ukrainian Defence Forces had left the left bank of the Dnipro.

The ISW assesses the operation as a 'limited raid' rather than a full-fledged breakthrough of the defence line.
