The one and a half kilometer long Antonivskiy bridge connects the Russian soldiers occupying the city of Kherson with other Russian forces.
Ukrainian the armed forces have again managed to strike the important Antonivskiy bridge, reports the Ukrainian news website Ukrinform. Its source is a high official of the Kherson region Serhi Hlan.
Hlan’s Facebookupdates according to Ukraine would have hit the bridge when the Russian convoy was crossing it.
A photo of a large cloud of smoke has been shared on social media, allegedly showing an explosion on the Antonivskyi bridge. American CNN channel according to the image is geolocated, i.e. the shooting area has been authenticated.
The Antonivsky Bridge crosses the Dnieper near the city of Kherson. The bridge is critical for the Russian occupying forces because it is very difficult to maintain the soldiers in Kherson without a proper bridge connection.
In social there are also claims in the media that the Antonivskyi bridge no longer exists.
The claim may be true in the sense that the bridge could have been made thoroughly impassable. The whole bridge probably couldn’t have been swept off the ground, because it is a huge structure with a length of one and a half kilometers.
During the summer, the Ukrainian armed forces have hit the Antonovsky bridge numerous times with Himars rockets. Himars are precision weapons obtained from the United States, with a range of several tens of kilometers.
