Ukraine claims to have broken through Russian front lines at counteroffensive near Kherson | DW News

There is "heavy fighting" in "almost the entire territory" of the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson occupied by Russian troops, Ukraine's presidency said. The clashes were raging after Ukrainian troops on Monday launched a counter-offensive seeking to retake the southern region which was seized by Russia early in the war. "Powerful explosions continued throughout the day and throughout the night in Kherson region," the president's office said in a morning update.
