The Ukrainian army struck the Antonivka Bridge on the Dnieper River, which Russia used to reinforce its forces in the region. “The occupiers must learn to swim along the Dnipro River or leave Kherson while it is still possible. There may not be a third warning,” said Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the Ukrainian Presidential Office, after the bridge was targeted.

The bridge is seen as important for Kherson to remain under Russian control and to be able to supply the region.
