Russian shelling destroyed civilian and residential infrastructure, killing three civilians.

Trent Maul said there is a realistic possibility that the AFU could break through Russian lines in the south by end of 2023

Ukrainian forces have breached the first line of Russian defense and are advancing through the second in some areas

Realistic possibility means 40-50% probability

The bulk of Russia's reinforcements remain at the third defensive line

the defence forces of Ukraine continue to conduct an offensive operation on the Melitopol front, killing Russians and liberating the occupied territories step by step; they are experiencing success in the area south of Robotyne, consolidating their positions
