Ukraine Pulls Out Russian Bridge As Kherson Counterattack Mounts

The development was reported by the Southern Ukraine Operational Command, which issues regular updates on Kiev’s counteroffensive in the Kherson region. The area was occupied by Moscow in the early stages of the war. “The strikes are effective, the damage is significant. The water crossing that the occupiers had set up in the Daryevka region was destroyed,” the administration said in a statement on its Facebook page.

Ukraine claimed on Wednesday that it destroyed a bridge built by Russian troops in the occupied Darivka village in Kherson region. DIMITAR DILKOFF/AFP/Getty Images Ukraine’s military first reported that Russian forces were trying to build a floating bridge across the Inhulets River in the village of Darivka on July 27, sharing images posted by a Twitter user. In a press release, Kyiv said a photo showed the construction of a pontoon bridge a few hundred meters from the concrete road bridge Darivka Bridge on the south side, covered with tree branches. It’s hard to see in this photo, but the floating bridge at Daryivka is partially covered with tree branches from above.

Ukraine’s Southern Operational Command said on August 26 that the Darivka bridge had been hit by Ukrainian missile and artillery units and was therefore rendered useless. The Darivka bridge, as well as others such as the Kakhovka bridge and the Antonovsky bridge, have been targeted several times by Ukraine with high-precision munitions in order to cut off supply routes and prevent Russia from using them to transport military equipment. staff and more. The Darivka Bridge is a combination rail and road bridge used by Russian troops to transport supplies over the Inhulets River. The Antonovsky Bridge is also important as it is the only road bridge connecting Kherson, located on the west side of the Dnipro River, with a part of the Kherson region on the other side. It is the main crossing over the Dnipro and is a key route for Russia to supply its forces holding territory in southern Ukraine. The Kakhovka Bridge, which goes over the Nova Kakhovka Dam, is also vital to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s forces, as it was used to transport military equipment into the region. In detailing a strike on the bridge in an Aug. 12 Facebook post, Ukraine’s South Operational Command said it was the last bridge connecting the right and left banks. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed this week that an attempt by Ukraine to repeat an attack on the Kherson region had so far been “unsuccessful”. Newsweek has reached out to the Russian Foreign Ministry for comment.
