On Monday, the Ukrainian military launched a long-awaited counter-offensive against Russian forces in the southern part of the country.
Ukraine seeks to recapture the city of Kherson, the only regional capital that Russia has been successful in capturing since its invasion six months ago.
The Kherson Oblast lies to the north of the Russian-controled Crimean Peninsula and borders with the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
Over the last weeks, more than 10 Russian ammunition depots had been hit disrupting Russia's southern logistical routes, according to Command spokesperson Natalia Humeniuk.
