Ukrainian forces have struck a strategically important bridge in the southern part of the country, using what a Russia-appointed official said were rocket systems supplied by the United States.
The Antonivskyi Bridge crossing the Dnieper River was closed Wednesday following the Ukrainian strike.
Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the Russia-appointed administration for the Kherson region, said the bridge was still standing after the late Tuesday strike, but that the road deck was full of holes.
Stremousov said Ukrainian forces used the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) to carry out the strike.
The bridge is a key link allowing Russia to supply its forces in southern Ukraine.
Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy highlighted the bridge strikes in a tweet Wednesday, saying Russian forces should take them as a warning.
Podolyak said the Russians “should learn how to swim across” the river or “leave Kherson while it is still possible.”

Well said General!
This same bridge has been destroyed over and over today according to maximusmaliciousness.
Poor dude needs constant reassurance.
I'm sure that when Russia loses Kherson - and they will - that loss will be dismissed as part of some wider strategy, or another feint, or whatever.
It's a poor position, and geographically untenable against a decent opponent.
Yes, of course.
Remind me again how many HIMAR missiles it took to take this bridge out.....finally. Yeah, them there accurate missiles.
Dude, dont quote laws of physics to me given according to them same laws of physics Ukraine was supposed to have already taken back Kherson with that million man army and won this conflict already......
Speechless? No snappy come back based on lies? Your FSB masters are going to be mighty disappointed with your lackadaisical & wimpy performance.
Yes they are very accurate. They placed them perfectly. Disabled the bridge without destroying it. Hard to do with conventional arty.
money is no object. We will just print more. Its all good. At this point the debt is so high a few trillion more means nothing.
They leave it passable on foot as a “good wil gesture” if the Russians have to retreat.
Yeah, I seen pictures of them hits, many hits, so accurate. Not.
“Ukraine was supposed to have already taken back Kherson”
And Russia had Ukraine surronded in the Donbas and they were facing annihilattion back in March. “The End” as Norseepooh said.
If not accurate why is the bridge shut down? What pictures were you looking at?

Where is your pictures?
Here is what you need to know: The second largest country in Europe will get smaller and the Donbass region will never belong to Ukraine again.
LOL... true.
Thanks,
Just added it to my long list of Putard predictions that will be forced fed back at the appropriate time God willing.
Nice to see you inserted, God willing.
The Russians haven’t even been able to bridge creeks and swamps the last few months. How in the world do you expect them to span a kilometer wide stretch of river with pontoon boats?
And your idea of them using fairies is fanciful because that could work for small amounts of supplies and for small numbers of troops. But they’re not gonna get heavy equipment across that river in small boats.
Yes of course.....
BTW, it’s ferry’s.
I’m not foolish enough to make predictions. No one here can nor should make such things given the lack of information and not knowing Gods will.
All I can know ascertain for sure is the current frontlines.
That dim bulb Patton also believed he fought in a Roman legion, and in Napoleon’s Army in Russia.
He had one skill set, beyond that, he really isn’t someone from whom you would seek advice.
A whacked out eccentric... might as well ask your great grandpa.
Understood, friend.
Ask the General about his combat time in Roman legions and in Napoleon’s army retreating from Moscow. He can tell you how cold he was, because the nut thought he was there.
Patton is like McMaster. Great at commanding armor, but beyond that, basically your cranky nutty grandpa emitting a crazy stream of consciousness.
