The Russian headquarters in temporarily occupied #Tokmak, #Zaporizhzhya Oblast, was destroyed during a meeting on Nov. 28, #Melitopol Mayor Ivan #Fedorov announced on national television.
The blast killed 14 Russians, many of them officers.
"For two days in a row, Tokmak has been witnessing a powerful liquidation of the enemy," he said.
According to russian milblogger, During the last five days #UkrainianArmy made small advances north of #Novoprokopivka while west of #Robotyne they achieved a bigger advance in direction to #Kopani.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have achieved additional territorial gains and are currently engaging Russian forces in the tree line east of #Novoprokopivka. Current AFU positions are less than 300 meters from the enemy's Dragon teeth.
#UkraineWar@herryrodinnapit Reminder: Russia is bad at intel and logistics; withdrawn from the outskirts of Kyiv, Kharkiv region and Kherson. Ukraine has been listening to the Russians talk about their low morale and friendly-fire incidents near Bakhmut and Verbove-Tokmak. 😳#UkraineRussiaWar#Rusia#Russie
Russische Flugabwehr schießt eigenen Kampfjet ab Nahe der besetzten Stadt #Tokmak in der Südukraine hat die russische Flugabwehr nach britischer Einschätzung aus Versehen einen eigenen Kampfjet abgeschossen. Es handele sich um die fünfte verlorene Maschine des Typs „Su-35S", die Russlands fortschrittlichstes Kampfflugzeug im weit verbreiteten Einsatz sei, teilte das britische Verteidigungsministerium mit. #Russland#Ukrainehttps://www.tagesschau.de/newsticker/liveblog-ukraine-mittwoch-290.html
Russians in #Tokmak began to panic: families and entire educational institutions are being evacuated, says Ivan #Fedorov, Mayor of Russian-occupied #Melitopol.

The Russians have started looting businesses in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and have developed a plan to smuggle out high-value items due to the challenging situation on the southern front.
This is what is going to happen in #Ukraine next. All those roads and rail will be cut. The sea will be reached and it will be all over social media to build panic with Russian forces.
Russia’s response to #Ukraine advancing will be to pull troops from further West to reinforce #Tokmak. They will be desperate to hold it as that is as far as Ukraine needs to get to control the area.
Far superior Ukrainian artillery and counter battery means that Ukraine can hit roads and railways from Tokmak, closing the south to Russia.
U.S. officials have told CBS News it appears the #Ukrainian military has made progress in advancing on the #Russian-held city of #Tokmak– a vital barrier city that stands between the Ukrainian forces and the southeastern city of #Melitopol.
The Russian-installed proxy leader of the occupied parts of Zaporizhzhia Oblast Vladimir Rogov said on Telegram on July 27 that Ukrainian forces had struck the Russian-held town of Tokmak.
Thus far there wasn't a single location where Ukrainians would break through the first line of Russian reinforced emplacements.
In fact: There isn't a place where #Russia was even forced to fight for their first line. Fights are only going on the front lines which are getting pushed back and forth.
Bakhmut - still strong in RU hands.
Avdiivka - looks worse than before the c.off.
Wagner gone, but no breakthrough.
For some added context - here's a map of the region near #Robotyne with the population (blue) of the key villages on the way to #Tokmak, Russian defensive lines (black), the outline of three key villages (thin red) and locations of a known UA strikes 💥.
