18:50 The situation on the Zaporizhia front is reported by the Military Correspondents of the Russian Spring. Direction of the main attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: Orekhovsky area.

Today, the enemy has been preparing artillery for several hours and is again throwing infantry into attack on our positions at the Rabotino-Verbovoye line, trying to get to the trenches.

The outskirts of Rabotino are still under our control, the enemy cannot advance while under constant fire. The enemy is trying to bypass the settlement to the south, here the battles for the forest belt and forest plantation continue.

Verbovoye is under our complete control, the battles are going on in the fields outside the village, sometimes the attack aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine come to the outskirts, where they are destroyed in fleeting battles. During the battles between Rabotino and Verbovoye, the attacks were repelled by Russian troops.

According to Ukrainian monitoring channels, explosions were heard east of Petropavlovka, where the rear positions and ammunition depots of the 14th, 41st and 88th Mechanized Brigades are located.

Judging by the fact that the air raid was not announced in this area, FAB-500 gliding bombs with planning and correction modules could have been used against targets. Aircraft of tactical aviation drop them from a range of 40-50 kilometers, and their visibility is much lower than that of large-caliber rockets or cruise missiles. Such ammunition is actively used by Russian aviation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Zaporozhye.
