Unconfirmed reports that another Russian general was killed. That would make 5, a quarter of deployed general staff.

Also worth remembering that most of Russia's losses so far are in their combat units, and most heavily in their best units which led their initial assault. Taking cities with conscripts and reservists from a supplied, veteran, high morale force is not going to work out well for the conscripts and reservists.

Good thread on state of play-

Also important to note, this was reportedly in Chornobayivka, a town just north of Kherson.  Apparently the Ukrainians have been gaining back ground in that area.  If they are able to retake Kherson, essentially the only major city Russia has been able to take so far, it could be the beginning of the end for Russia.  Long way to go for that to happen, but the fact that Ukraine is still performing counter offensives, this late into the war, with Russia mostly stalled, is an incredible sign.
