A convoy of Russian vehicles attempting to rapidly reinforce crumbling lines south of Robotyne become the target of accurate Ukrainian artillery.

The convoy was traversing through a switchback series of curves along the settlement of Novoprokopovka. The section of roadway was likely a preplanned target for Ukrainian artillery as the turns force vehicles to slow in the kill zone.

Ukrainian forces are on the verge of a significant breakthrough on the Zaporizhzhia front in the vicinity of Robotyne. This is forcing the Russians to shift troops from the Kherson front in Zaporizhzhia, thereby weakening Russian positions on other fronts.
