Ukraine hits key Kherson bridge to isolate enemy forces

A key Russian-held bridge into the occupied southern city of Kherson was hit with a barrage of rocket fire by Ukrainian forces who appeared to be stepping up operations to isolate the city.

Video and witness accounts showed up to 18 detonations on the Antonivskiy bridge over the Dnipro river, one of the main Russian resupply routes into Kherson, with Russian anti-missile air defences apparently failing to intercept the strikes.

Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the president’s administration, posted to social media about the strikes on the key bridge in occupied Kherson, joking that it has been successfully intercepting Ukrainian missiles, while warning the occupiers to leave the city.
