HIMARS + Russian ammo dump = Big Bavovna

x Tonight (Aug 12, 2023): The AFU conducted what I think was a HIMARS GMLRS strike on a Russian ammo dump and a "cluster" of orcs in Oleshky on the left bank of occupied Kherson. #OSINT #UkraineRussiaWar️ #UkraineWar #Ukraine #Counteroffensive pic.twitter.com/zNzZwq5O6q — OSINT (Uri) 🇺🇦 (@UKikaski) August 13, 2023

Ukraine’s bridgehead (minus the bridge) or whatever you want to call it, is definitely more than a limited raid. It is being reinforced and supported by artillery from the right (western) bank.

x Update on Kozachi Laheri (Cossack Camp), left bank, occupied Kherson, Ukraine

AFU forces have established a sustainable bridgehead to the west of the town of Kozachi Laheri. Evidence of this is the level at which the AFU is sending reinforcements there from the 126th Territorial Defense Brigade. This appears to be a strategic change from the marine and SOF units previously used in the cross-river assaults. Russian sources have also describe seeing "boat after boat" being sent there to deliver reinforcements and remove any wounded for treatment and, unfortunately, any KIA's. On their part, the Russian forces continue attempts to dislodged AFU forces but are under constant and intense artillery fire from the right bank and mortar fire from units at the bridgehead. The AFU has also been targeting nearby Russian assembly areas, logistics points and ammunition dumps in Radens'k, Oleshky and Nova Kakhovka that are used in support of their units in the local AO (Oleshky and Kozachi Laheri).

This would be interesting if it’s true. It would also explain his unit’s sudden disappearance at Kozachi Laheri. He and his men could have defected or he could have decided to cooperate after his unit was captured.

Partisans fill an important role in a city like Mariupol that is out of range of most of Ukrainian artillery.

x ⚡️Official: Partisans set Russian base on fire in Mariupol.

Ukrainian partisans have set a Russian military base in occupied Mariupol on fire, Petro Andriushchenko, an advisor to the exiled mayor of Mariupol, reported on Aug. 13. Russia has lost at least 10 troops, three trucks, and five cars, he said in another Telegram post.

I was wondering when someone would make a “Space Oddity” reference.

A whole lot of Russians fleeing south from Urozhaine didn’t make it. They fled on foot and were cut up by cluster munitions.

x The Ukrainian MoD released two spectacular videos, showing surviving Russian troops fleeing from Urozhaine.

It is absolute carnage because those Russians have no armored vehicles, no vehicles at all and flee in broad daylight on an open road and fields. The 2nd video is even worse for them because it shows the usage of cluster ammunition, blasting those troops into absolute bits. This is just another video proving the low quality of Russian command structures. To give so panicking withdrawal orders and allowing the own troops being literally destroyed with no cover from the dark or some vehicles is a masterclass in failure in itself. It is unlikely that there are any Russian troops alive in Urozhaine.

Another big fire in the Moscow region. Some reports say it is a warehouse.

Ramzan Kadyrov’s Chechen thugs are good at getting themselves killed on those rare occasions when they are fighting instead of posting TikTok videos. But they seem to be good at killing Russians.

x A shootout took place between the Kadyrovites and the Russian military in occupied Urzuf. Four occupiers were killed.

This guy is a Russian “journalist.” He’s mostly a propagandist but he has actually broken a few stories about Ukrainian successes.

x All is not well in occupied Kherson.



Romanov Lait, who earlier reported on ZSU successes on the left bank near Kozachi Laheria, now says local command has ordered he be detained and handed over to the FSB.



He shares a screenshot of a message which he claims has been verified. https://t.co/vJKFmHdwPq pic.twitter.com/kuZVP87H6G — Artoir (@ItsArtoir) August 12, 2023

This probably didn’t earn him any Brownie points.
