Details: Kostiantyn Mashovets, a Ukrainian military observer, said that the activity of Ukrainian UAVs is so widespread on the left bank of Kherson Oblast that the Russian group of troops Dnepr began to notify personnel on when Russian drones will operate in their area, as Russian troops increasingly confuse their own drones with Ukrainian ones and open fire on them.

As of 13 January, Ukrainian forces hold positions on the eastern (left) bank of Kherson Oblast, but no confirmed changes have been recorded in this area.

Russian and Ukrainian forces continued positional fighting on the east bank, including in and near Krynky.

Mashovets also said that the command of the Russian 17th Tank Regiment (70th Motorized Rifle Division, 18th Combined Arms Army) has been trying to evacuate damaged Russian armoured vehicles near Krynky over the past two weeks, attracting both regular repair personnel and combat personnel.
