 Ukraine's armed forces try to gain a foothold on the left bank of the Nipro River. British intelligence has said that the Ukrainian military have crossed the Nipro River near the Antonivka Bridge, near Kursun and are trying to gain a foothold on the left bank. UK intelligence noted that Ukrainian forces have almost certainly started to move to the left bank of the Nipro River near the Antonivka Bridge since the 23rd of June. Fighting on the left bank intensified from the 27th of June. Among the Russian units stationed in this area are elements of the 7th Guard's Mountain Air Assault Division, which is part of the Russian Nipro group of forces. In recent weeks, Russia has highly likely reallocated elements of Russian Nipro group of forces defending the bank of the Nipro to reinforce the Zaporizia sector. Combat around the bridgehead is almost certainly complicated by the flooding, destruction and residual mud from the collapse of the Kharkov-Kadam on the 6th of June 2023. The Institute for the Study of War also reported that Russian troops have been unable to oust the Ukrainians, numbering up to 70 people from their fortified positions under the eastern span of the Antonivka Bridge. This week, UK intelligence also reported that strikes on the bridges near Chonhar at the entrance to Crimea have significantly complicated logistics for Russian troops.
