Over the past day, Ukrainian troops repelled six attempts by Russian troops to storm the area near Bilohrudyi Island and Antonivskyi Bridge.

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In total, 149 combat engagements were recorded along the entire frontline over the course of the day.

According to the General Staff, the Russian army's losses amounted to about 1180 soldiers. Ukrainian forces also destroyed four tanks, six armored combat vehicles, 61 artillery systems, three multiple launch rocket systems, 2427 drones, 206 vehicles and three units of special equipment.

Earlier, Intent wrote that in the Prydniprovskyi sector, Russian troops intensified their attempts to storm the positions of the Defense Forces near Antonivskyi Bridge. On March 28, the enemy made two assaults near the suburbs of Kherson.

At the same time, analysts at the Institute for War Studies note that Russian troops continue limited ground attacks east of Kherson, particularly in the area of Antonivskyi Bridge, but without making any progress.

Since the beginning of the year, the Russian occupiers have significantly intensified their attacks on Kherson. During this time, the city has already experienced about 1300 attacks with cannon and rocket artillery.

Earlier, the British newspaper The Times published an article about Kherson, in which it pointed out that the city, which once celebrated liberation from Russian occupation, has now become a testing ground for modern methods of warfare. Russian troops have turned Kherson into an arena of terror, where drones have become the main weapon of intimidation and destruction of civilians.

Intent also wrote about how the Russian army carried out a series of targeted strikes on a civilian medical facility in the Dniprovsky district of Kherson. The enemy attacked the territory of one of the local hospitals three times using unmanned aerial vehicles.
