The situation in the Zaporozhye direction
as of 15.00 October 12, 2022 according to @Rybar

The Ukrainian command is completing preparations for a counteroffensive in the Zaporozhye direction. The Armed Forces of Ukraine need to regain control over the nuclear power plant before the onset of cold weather, as well as cut off the overland supply route for the Russian group in the south.

There is a high probability that sabotage and assault groups of marines will be thrown into the Energodar region both from Nikopol and Zolotoy Balka. Currently, water is being discharged in the Kakhovka reservoir, which may damage coastal barriers.

▪️A platoon of the 65th separate mechanized brigade of the reserve corps, with artillery fire support, conducted reconnaissance in battle in the Novodarovka area. The RF Armed Forces repelled the attacks, killing seven people and one armored fighting vehicle.

Formations of the 65th brigade, together with the 102nd brigade of the TRO, are digging in in the Dorozhnyanka area. Subversive groups of formations intend to carry out an attack on Russian positions in the direction of Marfopol.

▪️Special forces of the Marine Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue training on the landing of tactical troops on an unequipped coast. This morning, three Ukrainian boats passed through the lock of the Dnieper hydroelectric power station in the direction of the shipyard after working out tasks in Volnoandreevka.

The plant itself has not been functioning for a long time and there are no workers on it. The enterprise a few months ago turned into the headquarters of Ukrainian units and foreign mercenaries.

▪️Units of the 9th Special Purpose Regiment of the National Guard of Ukraine carry out maintenance of artillery pieces in preparation for the assault on Russian borders.

▪️Informants from the so-called "National Resistance Forces" are actively operating behind the lines of the Russian army in the Zaporozhye region, using satellite terminals to transmit data on the location of command posts and firing positions.
