The Russians have been attacking Ukraine's coastal harbors all over the past day. Not just Odessa. By limiting Ukraine's capacity of using sea transportation they will force Ukraine to increase the strain on their railways. Which are already bottlenecked as it is, from lack of trains, to issues with switching from the Russian to the standard gauge rail tracks in EU countries.

Looks like a Grad MLRS attack all across this Ukrainian held forest line.
Ukrainian BMP manages to extract personnel while under attack. As it speeds away, an ATGM hits it.
Ukrainian pickup or truck tries to hide in the forest line, but got mortar sniped by the 40th Marine Brigade.
The now famous selfie photo of Russians with the captured Bradley was taken by a woman with her face on the lower left corner.
She is Major Isinbaeva and has been awarded a second Medal of Courage.
Strela-10 taken out by Lancet.
Russian artillery takes out a Ukrainian UAV control center.
Lancet from the 14th SPN Brigade of the VDV hits a British supplied Stormer.
Vremevsky Ledge. Russian Special Forces hitting Ukrainian tanks.
Ukrainian command post near Bakhmut hit by Lancets.
In Ugledar, the Russian 68th Army Corps hits a Ukrainian deployment point with artillery and mortars. The elements of the 68th replaced the 40th Marine Brigade at Ugledar earlier this year as the 40th is moved to Novodonetsk.
Ukrainians are now using cluster munitions in this. Russians are now said to be using them too, making good their threat.
Ukrainian tank ran into a minefield.
The 40th Marine Brigade hits this 2S1 Gvozdika at a Ukrainian stronghold.
Some work of the 14th and the 40th Brigades in Novodonetsk showing various destroyed vehicles. Some not all pics are posted. They include Mastiffs, two Huskys and a truck.

Ukrainian train carrying soldiers was hit.
40th Marine Brigade destroys a 2S1 Gvozdika SPG at a Ukrainian stronghold.
14th SPN Brigade attacked Ukrainian positions in Ugledar with FPV drones. This is a Guards unit with the Order of Kutuzov. So even the elite units are using FPV drones.
The 155th Marines Brigade is also a Guards unit with the Order of Kutuzov. Here they are dropping grenades from a quadcopter.
The use of such drone practices by elite units means quadcopter drone use is now being institutionalized to where even elite units use them.
Ukrainian SPG at Zaporozhye destroyed by what seems to be Krasnopol or Kitolov.
Kirpi ran into a mine.
Black berets awarded to members of the 155th. Black berets are typically worn by the Naval Infantry while sky blue berets are worn by the Airborne.
Ukrainian BMP-1 that supplied ammo, food and personnel at the front was ambushed by an ATGM team of the LPR 4th Brigade. This at Klescheyevka.
So basically what happened here is that a Ukrainian group of vehicles assaulted this trench position and managed to kill the Russians there all but one. One however was enough to call reinforcements which is what happened. ATGMs from a Russian tank hunter team knocked out the T-64BV, a BMP-2 and a BMP-1. Survivors from the BMPs tried to assault the trench, but the lone Russian soldier held out his position till reinforcements arrive and delt with the survivors. This battle near Artyomovsk.

Russian / Pro Russian forces started using cluster ammunition against opponent, below footage is said to be enemy gathering place targeted by cluster ammunition.
An M55S got destroyed with a new type on ammunition :
According to artillerymen of the Western Military District M55S was destroyed with use of an experimental precision munition guided by a camera with a laser rangefinder :
- After 2nd Crimea bridge attack, intensity & brutality of Russian attacks increased significantly and on the wider area. FPV, lancet drones and artillery paired with drones are on the butcher spree, eating man and metal alike.
- Horrific footage recorded by drone, bunch of Ukrainian forces running around from one dugout to another while under artillery fire, when they all 6 to 8 guys clustered together in a single dugout, krasnopol took them out.
- Another very clean footage from (Klesheevka) still available on prominent pro Russian accounts, Bunched up 5 Ukrainian guys in the open while there were trees just close by got a direct hit by Gran or other mortar system. There is more 18+ footage from the same front.

Gotta be wondering where were those Challenger-1 tanks ?
The Chally 1s were mostly sold to Jordan, phased out now but I think they're just in storage there? I remember reading a proposal somewhere that involved them being bought and modernised to be given to Ukraine but can't see Jordan being party to such a provocative program
it appears Ukraine has retook this area, but take this with a grain of salt, some people are saying its an old video and others are saying Russia still has control over it. if this is true then its the 2nd or 3rd time it has changed hands.
