“As part of the execution of fire missions, damage to the road bridge of the Nova Kakhovka dam was ensured, with a controlled exclusion of its intended use.”
Also, Ukrainian aviation carried out five strikes on strongholds and accumulations of enemy weapons and equipment in the Bashtan, Beryslav and Kherson districts.
There are no bridge crossings left in the Kherson region that the occupiers could use to throw equipment over.
“Of course, they will try to repair, look for an alternative in crossings, but it takes time, money, and then as soon as they prepare and gather equipment and strength, we will destroy it again,” said Serhiy Khlan, adviser to the head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration.
In addition, during the day, defenders of Ukraine destroyed 46 Russian occupiers and 15 units of armored, engineering and automotive equipment.
