NY Times: Ukraine destroys 6 ammo dumps plus other targets in the south in the last 24 hrs.
Here's an excerpt from the story. Note the Times with it's usual incompetence completely missed the significant point:
Ukraine’s military said on Thursday that it had used attack helicopters and fighter jets to pound Russian ammunition dumps and other positions in the south of the country over the past 24 hours, as part of a counteroffensive to reclaim territory.
In all, Ukraine conducted 10 airstrikes using helicopters and fighter jets in and around Kherson Province, which Russian forces seized in March. Across the region, they attacked more than 200 targets using long-range missiles and artillery, officials said.
The military claimed to have blown up six ammunition depots, five troop strongholds and several command posts. There was no independent confirmation of the statement although some of the strikes were captured on video.
The gathering scale of Ukraine’s attacks in the south is consistent with preparations for a ground offensive because they put pressure on Moscow’s military infrastructure and supply lines. The south is economically and strategically significant because it contains Ukraine’s agricultural heartland, and its vital ports and provides a land link between Crimea and Russia.
Now can anybody figure out what the Times missed? Hint: It's in the second paragraph.
