Today is the third day following the air strike, and this time Ukraine has reclaimed the Russian-occupied territory?

Yes. A spokesman for Ukraine’s Southern Operations Department announced regarding two hours ago that five villages had been recovered in the Kherson region.
Kherson, the southern region of Ukraine, is one of the four regions that Russia has declared annexation, and is strategically important to both Ukraine and Russia as it connects to the Krum Peninsula.
