On August 22, eyewitnesses reported powerful explosions on the Antonovsky Bridge.



The Armed Forces of Ukraine have officially confirmed the strike on the Antonovsky Bridge. This was announced by the speaker of OK "South" Natalia Gumenyuk.

Antonovsky Bridge is one of the transport directions that the Russians are trying to revive. Still, realizing that such a structure cannot be patched up with a bucket of concrete requires significant repairs and technological processes... That is why we control and remind of our presence remotely, - Natalya Gumenyuk, speaker of OK Yug, said at the briefing.

Journalist Andrei Tsaplienko published an audio recording in which an eyewitness talks about the moment of the explosion and its consequences.

According to eyewitnesses, the bridge was utterly destroyed, one of the spans collapsed, and the wreckage reached the nearby village of Antonovka.

In addition, according to preliminary data, before the explosion, nine KAMAZ trucks with ammunition were moving along the bridge.

Currently, there is no official information about the bridge's condition.

The Russian media said that the explosions on the bridge were the result of air defense.
