After FAB strikes from the UMPK in Zaporizhzhia, traffic on the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station dam was blocked.

Reports are coming in from the Zaporizhzhia region of Russian Aerospace Forces striking enemy transport and energy infrastructure facilities. According to the latest reports, the strikes are being carried out using FABs with UMPK missiles, as well as drones various classes, including FPV.

Since the beginning of the day, Russian Aerospace Forces have carried out at least 14 strikes using bombs with universal planning and correction modules within the city limits of the regional capital, Zaporizhzhia.

Against this backdrop, information from Zaporizhzhia public groups about the closure of traffic on the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station dam is particularly noteworthy.

From messages:

Cars are directed along Winter.

This is a bridge that leads to Khortytsia Island, from where you can travel to other parts of Zaporizhzhia via a bridge located south of the hydroelectric power station dam.

Simultaneously, numerous strikes were carried out on targets in the Dnipropetrovsk region. A transport company in Pavlohrad was hit by fire. Drones also struck at least two gas stations and a fuel storage facility.

Enemy resources report significant fuel shortages on the Dnipropetrovsk (Dnipro)-Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk (Dnipro)-Pavlohrad, Zaporizhzhia-Orekhov, and Zaporizhzhia-Volnyansk highways. The enemy is experiencing equally challenging logistics in the Slovyansk and Kramatorsk areas, as well as in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions.

If I understand correctly, this is the first bridge across the Dnieper that we actually got to... It would have been logical to cover the Cable-stayed Bridge as well.
Better late than never.
Congratulations, huh...

Honestly, I find it strange that they're attacking a dam that's more powerful than regular bridges. Especially since there's a railway bridge nearby.

[January]

I think the impact was not on the dam itself, but on the access roads.
Although... The command's way of thinking, as experience shows, is inscrutable...

[Arkady007]

It doesn't matter what they hit, as long as they hit and hit.
But it’s strange that it’s only now that they’ve started, when all the comments on VO, to put it mildly, have become unfavorable towards the General Staff.
And just when everyone had given up on the moderation regime, the General Staff suddenly started processing bridges, exactly according to the scheme that was proposed here at the Military District regarding the logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, back in April.

[boriz]

The first effective attack on the bridge embankment (railway section) of the Cherkasy Bridge occurred in June 2022—June 26, if memory serves. Whether it was restored or not is unclear. But in any case, there was no movement for some time. On Google Maps, the embankment is still destroyed, and the image changes periodically; the box-shaped structure lying nearby sometimes shifts back and forth.
But the fact remains: while everyone was trying to prove it was impossible, in June 2022, the bridge embankment, along with the tracks, was destroyed. From the second hit. The first time, they missed by 15 meters, the second time, they hit. You can find this on YouTube. And I've written about it here many times.
That is, already 4 years ago the following took place:

"That's it, and you were afraid! Even your skirt wasn't wrinkled!"

Well, if only a little.
Now I'd like to know why you've been chewing on snot for four years? And now you're so enthusiastic...

To be honest, it's strange to me that they're hitting a dam that's more powerful than regular bridges.

Look at the photo of the dam and everything will become clear. There are two road bridges there. One crosses the shipping canal, the other is in front of the engine room. Cars use the bridge to bypass the engine room.

a bridge that leads to Khortytsia Island, from where you can travel to other parts of Zaporizhzhia via a bridge located south of the hydroelectric power station dam.

Why don't we hit these ones?
A rhetorical question

[Kmet]

We're probably saving the Zaporizhzhia State District Power Plant for our own needs. Judging by the maps, it's within the regional plans and boundaries. The dam and bridges will be preserved. But they could also destroy the roads in front of the bridges. And do it well.

[Murmur 55]

Kmet Do you think the scabies will need it intact when they start to come off? And they won't mine it?

[Kmet]

I'm not even thinking about it, Alexander.
I'm sure that when the time comes to retreat and be forced to abandon such facilities, they will be destroyed according to the principle, "Let no one get you!" You probably know the saying about them: "What's not on the ground, I'll nibble on..." So, I'm 200% sure. But there's always hope for incredible luck... like with Krakow - they wanted to blow that up too and even prepared everything, but something went wrong.

[topol717]

Bridges are not included in the program for the demilitarization of Europe.

[Kmet]

This is the first time I've heard anything about the demilitarization of Europe. It seems like no one has announced this.

[boriz]

The issue isn't really about the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station. When the dam collapses, won't the Zaporizhzhya NPP be flooded?

[Kmet]

I don't know. Geologists and surveyors would be better placed to advise on this—we need to look at the terrain. In any case, if the dam collapses, the consequences will be catastrophic, even for the environment.

[Declarant]

I agree with the idea of ​​demolishing the bridges before and after the dam. They're fragile and don't require a particularly powerful charge. The main thing is to hit them. I drove across them in 2012. And I walked. We walked with a walker, swaying from passing traffic. And the bridge itself, along the dam itself, is just so-so. It's attached to the side.

[Andrey Khramov]

If the dam itself collapses, there will be... a "big splash"...

[January]

It would take a lot of FABs to knock down the dam. And no foolish enthusiast would want to sink the Zaporizhzhya NPP either.

No. But he can certainly give the order to plant mines and detonate them.

[BAI]

And no foolish enthusiast would sink the Zaporizhzhya NPP either.

So how can we sink the Zaporizhzhya NPP? The Dnieper Reservoir is several times smaller in volume than the Kakhovka Reservoir, on whose shores the Zaporizhzhya NPP is located. And the Kakhovka Reservoir is currently empty (I've seen it myself). And it's capable of holding several Dnieper Reservoirs.
Moreover, no one has sealed the hole in the Kakhovka dam.

[Alex Nevs]

They won't be doing it in your near future. Because the conscious ones will be "fed" with Banderism, down to their very genes... for many, many years. "Vaccination." And then things will get even worse for them.

[January]

The difference in the normal water level between the reservoirs is 50 meters. Kakhovka's is empty, which means it's bigger. Dnieper's isn't empty.
Even if the breakthrough is local, calculate the height of the water shaft yourself.

[alexoff]

So, aerial bombs can reach the dam, but not the nearby railway and road bridges?

[Vovavvs]

This is most likely an accident. No one wants to get caught in the crossfire like General Popov and Lieutenant Colonel Strelkov...

It's a pity that there is no one to "make a mistake" with the coordinates

[vitaliy20091959]

a blow to the sluice gate, and there is no reservoir, the water level drops, the water supply deteriorates, the foundations of the bridge supports open up

[Fangaro]

"After FAB strikes from the UMPK in Zaporizhzhia, traffic on the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station dam has been blocked."

Zelensky has been asked to end his adventure?
Let it even remain the first in Ukraine, but so that Ukraine no longer poses any threat to us.

And someone here was foaming at the mouth, arguing that it's impossible to cross the bridges over the Dnieper, impossible to damage them. It turns out they can, when they want.

[Dart2027]

Quote from Scientist

It is impossible to hit them, it is impossible to damage them.

It is problematic to destroy bridges in Kyiv.

[Anatoly Eliseev]

This is complete nonsense! We need to destroy the dam, then it would be great. But we can't!

[Vovavvs]

In 1941, by order of Marshal Budyonny, they destroyed and stopped the German advance in an hour.

[Vovavvs]

Looks like it wasn't in vain that they spent an hour and a half persuading the red devil...

I can't teach a dog to eat hay. But would the head of state prefer his own death and the dismemberment of his country to an alliance with another state, even with a diminished influence? Wouldn't the people of Transcarpathia, Poltava, and Zhytomyr prefer Zelensky the peacemaker to Zelensky the trench-digger?

[Samoyed]

Ukraine is under foreign control. And this is Anti-Russia, financed by the West, continuing the centuries-old war with Russia. A conflict of civilizations! If Zelensky or someone else looks toward peace, it will be death.

The Kiev bridges alone will not be enough to handle all the logistics for the front.

[Eugene Zaboy]

If traffic across the dam is stopped, as it is across all five bridges, it's possible that Ukrainian Armed Forces will attempt fewer offensives in the Stepnogorsk and Huliaipole areas. The transportation hub near Zaporizhzhia is undoubtedly one of the most developed in Ukraine, and the destruction of its infrastructure will impact Ukrainian Armed Forces activity on the eastern bank of the Dnieper.

[u4gr8Kk6p8]

The screenshot below (Google Maps 2026) shows the Zaporizhzhia industrial zone, located near the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station. No damage is visible. The Dnieper Hydroelectric Station and the industrial facilities were built simultaneously and for each other. It would be enough to destroy both turbine halls, and local industry would grind to a halt because it would become unprofitable. It's been five years. Just a guess, maybe one of our oligarchs has a business in Zaporizhzhia, A.
