Possibly, the increased bombardment in the Kherson region correlates with the Ukrainian Marines achieving a significant objective in the war – successfully crossing the Dnipro River and establishing a bridgehead.

Marines have advanced two infantry units, each numbering between 100-300 men, into a pair of enclaves on the left bank (east bank) of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region.

These bridgeheads are well within the range of attacking aircraft using Russian air bases in Crimea, facilitating Kremlin air strikes against Ukrainian positions with relative ease.
