On October 2, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched another offensive in the Kherson region. The attacks were carried out from several directions in an attempt to cut off the Russian grouping and advance deep into the region.
So far, the AFU managed to advance for about 30 kilometers along the right bank of the Kakhovsky water reservoir. The also control the Vysokopolie-Osokorovka road.
The villages of Khreshenovka, Shevchenkovka, Zolotaya Balka, Mikhailovka and Ukrainka came under Ukrainian control. The AFU took a foothold along the Lyubimovka — Belyaevka — Novoaleksandrovka line. Amid the ongoing offensive, they are transferring their reserves to the area.
In turn, the Russian military are holding their military positions in the villages of Novaya Kamenka and Dudchany. On the morning of October 4, Ukrainian forces resumed their offensive near Dudchany. So far, without any successes.

The AFU attempted to attack with T-72M1 tanks, followed by light armored vehicles BMP—1 and American-Dutch armored personnel carriers YPR-765. The movement of the AFU was detected by Russian UAVs and then shelled by Russian artillery:
At the same time, the AFU continue their attempts to break through Russian defences near Davidov Brod. The Russian military sources report that at night, the AFU once again attempted to attack. As a result, at least 3 Ukrainian tanks 2 Kozak armored vehicles were destroyed. Clashes continue in the area of Bruskinskoe. The AFU are trying to expand the bridgehead on the left bank of the Ingulets River in the area.
At night, another AFU assault group was destroyed in the area of Malaya Alexandrovka, located north of Davydov Ford.
Ukrainian forces have reportedly approached the Russian military positions in Snigirevka from the right bank of the Ingulets River. The Russian bridgehead which is of strategic importance may become another target for the Ukrainian offensive.
Ukrainian military equipment destroyed in the Kherson region:
So far, the Ukrainian military managed to advance in the north of the Kherson region, along the Kakhovsky reservoir. Despite heavy losses inflicted by Russian artillery and aircraft, they are transferring reserves to the area and are expected to continue their attempts to break through Russian defences towards the town of Novaya Kakhovka, where the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station is located. At the same time, the AFU are expected to develop their offensive to the west and attack Russian forces defending Novovoskresenskoe in an attempt to cut off the Russian grouping deployed in the north of the Kherson region.
On the western front lines of the Kherson region, the AFU are likely preparing for another large offensive, carrying out rotation of the troops and continuing reconnaissance operations by small assault groups. If the Ukrainian military succeed to break through Russian defences in Dudchany, Davidov Brod and Snigirevka before the reinforcement of Russian forces with the recently mobilized servicemen, the security of the whole Kherson region which has recently entered the Russian Federation will be threatened.
