I'm seeing reports on the BBC that Ukraine is now launching a counter-attack against Russian occupied Kherson (been a long time coming) as well as a large explosion, likely done by partizans, in occupied Melitopol appearing to target the head of the Russian occupation authority.

The news regarding Severodonetsk seems pretty bleak. But it's unclear at this stage whether Russia has suitable defences to hold Kherson or conversely how effective Ukraine will be with their push to retake the city.

Ryuu - Do any of your sources have more info on what's happening in Kherson and Melitopol?
