The Russian occupation forces might intensify their assault operations in the vicinity of Orikhiv and Mala Tokmachka, Zaporizhia region, in the coming days, Spokesperson for the Pivden (South) Defense Forces Vladyslav Voloshyn said on the national telethon on Saturday, October 5.

"If there is a breakthrough here, the enemy can take under fire control the logistic routes from Zaporizhia to the East of Ukraine, where our defense forces hold both Donetsk region and the southern part of Zaporizhia region. So, the enemy will try to seize control over them at any cost to cut off our logistics. [...] On this axis, more assaults are now ongoing and being prepared. According to our intelligence, new assault groups are being prepared near Orikhiv, near Robotyne in particular," he said.

According to the spokesperson, the enemy is redeploying to this section of the front personnel, conducting reconnaissance, and building logistical support.

"And in the not-too-distant future, in a few days, new assault operations will probably be launched," he said.

Based on the experience of previous enemy assaults, Voloshyn suggested that the occupiers are likely to use the tactics of small assault groups with the use of high-speed vehicles, without heavy armored vehicles and weapons.
