Russians hit the bridge in Kherson: how the overpass looks now

This was reported by a representative of the Defence Forces of Southern Ukraine, Vladyslav Voloshyn. He specified that on 3 August, the Russians launched an air strike on the bridge. The type of ammunition used in the attack has not been determined yet - a relevant commission will deal with this. The bridge was used primarily by civilians and there were no military facilities nearby, Voloshyn stressed.

According to him, in recent weeks there has been an increase in the enemy's activity in the Dnieper region. Up to eight military clashes are recorded daily in the area of the islands and the Antonov railway bridge. Russian forces are regrouping in an attempt to gain a foothold on the islands and are shelling the right-bank part of Kherson with drones and artillery.

Earlier, on 2 August, the occupiers had already struck a bridge in the Korabel microdistrict. At that time, aerial bombs were used, as a result of which the transport infrastructure was damaged and logistics were disrupted. Local residents were advised to evacuate.

on 3 August, the enemy attacked the site again with corrected aerial bombs (CABs), resulting in damage to the road surface. According to Yaroslav Shanko, head of the Kherson city military administration, traffic on the bridge is partially restricted but remains possible. He urged citizens not to postpone evacuation - local authorities are ready to help with accommodation and provide the necessary assistance.
