Ukraine launches counteroffensive with Dnipro River raids.

Ukrainian forces are conducting raids on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River near Kherson to reduce the combat capability of Russian troops who have been shelling the city since being forced to retreat. Military analysts say Ukraine is likely to launch a counteroffensive soon, and retaking all of the Kherson region would be an important step towards breaking through a southern land corridor between Russia and the Russia-annexed Crimea region.
