During the month of July, 152 KAB airstrikes were conducted, half of them falling on fields and half on forests, treelines and villages. Interestingly, the first strikes hitting Nove and other villages confirmed the fact those were into Ukrainian hands for a long time. At the end of July, the Ukrainians opened further offensive axes on the balka (small valley) east of Nove (near Novomykhailivka) and started advancing south. At the same time, clearing operations were ongoing in villages on the western side of the bulge. It is worth noting I have and had very few information regarding operation in the western flank, so the map is approximate.
