Updated at 1:15 p.m. Later, a video from the Antonivskiy Bridge appeared on the Internet.

The adviser to the head of the Kherson regional military administration, Serhiy Khlan, reported on the air of the national telethon about the precise hit in the area of ​​the Antonivskiy bridge – between the bridges over the Dnipro and Konka, as well as in the area of ​​the Nairi cafe and the bus station.

– A powerful explosion rang out in the area of ​​the site, where the orcs built fortifications, placed a lot of weapons, as well as a military unit engaged in security and a serious roadblock in the area between the bridges, – Serhiy Khlan said.

Antonivskiy Bridge is the main bridge across the Dnipro River connecting Kherson with the rest of the region.

Kherson, occupied by the Russians, is located on the northern bank of the Dnipro.

Therefore, during the counteroffensive, the Ukrainian army needs to recapture Kherson and push the Russian troops to the southern bank of the river.
