In the Zaporizhzhia direction, active replacement of the occupiers' units is observed, which indicates their preparation for possible assaults on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). This was reported by the battalion commander of the 31st separate mechanized brigade "Riddick" on the air of "Kyiv24".
Operational activity of the enemy
According to the commander, in the last two weeks it became noticeable that the enemy is building up its forces on the front line. "The enemy constantly moves from position to position, takes measures to increase its numbers at the front," he noted. The defense forces, in turn, actively detect these movements with the help of aerial reconnaissance and inflict fire damage on the enemy concentration.
"These movements indicate that the enemy is probably preparing for an assault. Their professional level has increased significantly, which indicates the seriousness of their intentions," the military officer emphasized.
The situation in Zaporizhzhia
Against the background of these events, Dmytro Lykhoviy, the spokesman for the operational-strategic group of troops "Tavria", previously noted that at the end of August, the invaders transferred part of the personnel to other directions, in particular to the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. This led to a certain stabilization of the situation in the southern part of Ukraine.
However, despite this, the shelling of Zaporozhye continues almost daily. On September 23, occupation forces attacked a residential building, as a result of which one person was killed and five others were injured. These attacks highlight the ongoing threat to civilians in the region.
