Armed Forces of Ukraine struck HIMARS MLRS on the Antonovsky Bridge, some of the missiles were intercepted
Ukrainian armed formations dealt another blow to the Antonovsky bridge in Kherson. According to the city administration, the shelling was carried out from the American MLRS HIMARS.
Antonovsky bridge connects the left-bank Kherson with the right bank of the Dnieper. This structure has long been a target for Ukrainian artillery and MLRS, Kyiv set the task of bringing the bridge to a non-working state in order to prevent the transfer of Russian troops to the left bank. The bridge is constantly under fire, the bridge deck has received serious damage, excluding passage, but the bridge supports are still intact, no hits were noted on them.
This time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired six HIMSRS MLRS shells at the bridge, three missiles were intercepted by Russian air defense systems, and the other three still hit the bridge area. At the moment, there are no reports of damage, and no one was injured.
- said the emergency services of the region.
It is suggested that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will increase the number of strikes on the Antonovsky Bridge against the backdrop of the offensive that has begun in the direction of Nova Kakhovka, in order to exclude the option of transferring Russian troops that will go from the Crimea. In Kyiv, they understand that soon Russia will bring up reserves, the training and coordination of which is being completed, therefore they are trying to take the most advantageous positions before the counterattack and hinder the advance of the Russian Armed Forces, including by destroying bridges.
