The Defense Forces of the South reported on the strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Antonovsky Bridge

This was told by the head of the press center of the Defense Forces of the South, Natalya Gumenyuk, on the air of the telethon.

I emphasize that our forces control important logistical transport routes, which are of critical importance for the enemy, because this does not give him the opportunity to maneuver and bring up forces and ammunition. The fact that attention is riveted to the bridge is understandable. I will note that we appreciate everything that is in our country, even when it is under the occupiers. We are not destroying infrastructure, we are destroying the plans of the enemy. The work of our artillery is so accurate and jewelry that it is aimed more at demoralizing the enemy troops. There were blows, but they were filigree, - said Natalya Gumenyuk.

On the night of July 26, powerful explosions thundered in Kherson. Residents on Telegram channels reported about strikes on the Antonovsky bridge. Also, the network laid out the moments of the explosions. Kherson residents living near the bridge infrastructure said that the bridge was destroyed. Journalist Andrei Tsalineko, on his Telegram channel, published a probable photo and video of the state of the bridge after the night explosions. There is no official information about the condition of the bridge.

In turn, military analyst Tom Cooper argues that the nearby railway bridge deserves more attention since the Russians mainly use trains to transfer weapons.

According to British intelligence, control over the crossing of the Dnieper in Kherson is a critical factor in the success of the military operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region.
