- Story Text: Smoke from shelling rose in the Mykolaiv region on Wednesday (August 31) as Ukraine said it was advancing in the south of the country.
Ukraine announced on Monday (August 29) its ground forces had gone on the offensive in the south for the first time after a period of striking Russian supply lines, in particular bridges across the strategically-important River Dnipro, and ammunition dumps.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged Russian troops to flee for their lives after his forces launched an offensive to retake southern Ukraine, but Moscow said it had halted the attack in its tracks and inflicted heavy losses on Kyiv.
