Ukraine Destroys Key Bridge
https:/
Last night Ukrainian forces made the latest of a series of attacks on the Antonivsky bridge over the Dnipro on the eastern outskirts of the occupied southern city of Kherson.
The link I have included cites only Russian and collaborationist sources, but satellite photography shows that an entire, if small, section of the bridge has been removed, creating a gap.
This bridge is the main supply route (and escape route to Crimea) for russian occupiers in the city. A bridge on a dam much further upriver has also been damaged, less seriously. Additionally road and rail links are being targeted before an assault on the city, which currently affords russia its only access to the north of the Dnipro river that forms a natural barrier down the country.
They've started a pontoon bridge, but that sounds like a suicide mission.
If Ukraine retakes Kherson it will be a real turning point in the war.

The BBC has now caught up (in fairness you wouldn't expect them to report things off social media straight off).

Locals say the occupiers are running a ferry across the Dnipro at the moment, possibly forcing civilians to accompany military as human shields.
This morning's missile bombardment of Kyiv and Chernihiv suggests an element of revenge. It's what they usually do.

In the link an "expert" says forces are being sent to Crimea.
In fact the opposite appears the case.
And mention is made of trying to divert Ukrainian arttention by an offensive elsewhere, but that already happened, with russian forces storming the entire Donetsk front line last night. They continue to make painful progress there in some places (Wagner forces taking a defunct power station) and to be driven back in others
