Antonovsky Bridge, one of the Russian Army’s lifelines into occupied Kherson, was effectively knocked out of action in a perfectly timed missile strike — just one of many developments on an explosive day in the Ukraine War.
What made the strike so timely was the presence of multiple Russian ammo trucks, headed north with supplies for troops in the Kherson region that Kyiv has vowed to take back. The exploding ammo only added to the destruction.

About 10 trucks loaded with ammunition were driving across the bridge. It's probably the detonation of one of them.
Whether that was due to luck or extremely actionable intelligence doesn’t matter. The point is that Russia has lost a vital Dnipro River crossing. The Dnipro isn’t just a wide river, making it difficult to ford; it also features the large Kakhovka Reservoir, completely unsuitable for moving the supplies Russia needs. ...it could be that Sevastopol residents, skittish over other recent attacks, are reporting backfiring cars or the like as enemy action. If that’s the case, it would hardly be a positive indicator of local Russian morale.
There’s some indication that might be the case:
My take from these reports isn’t exactly heartening for either side.
Russian forces seem exhausted and have barely progressed, even under the cover provided by devastating artillery strikes, from their July 3 lines in the Donbas.
On the other side, Ukraine has had some luck in degrading Russia’s already poor logistics. While that’s helpful, Ukraine also seems to lack the manpower or firepower to launch a genuine counteroffensive, even in the less-heavily contested Kherson region.
Autumn rains will come soon, bogging down everything. Then the winter freeze.
If either side is going to make another big push this year, they’re running out of time to make it.

He, Putin, has caused the deaths of thousands of Eastern Orthodox Slavic people
LOL, but FReepers keep telling me Putin is a defender of conservative Christian values, and somehow he's fighting globalism.
....thanks you for your support.
Routed Russian troops are fleeing westward through Bakhmut and Blahodatne, while confident and victorious Ukrainian troops are advancing westward from Donetsk Oblast to the Dnepr...
Putin loves globalism as long as he's the one in charge. Failing that, he'd settle for sharing that control with Xi. He couldn't give two craps about the WEF except to the extent he can use it as a boogeyman to steer some gullible opinions in the West. Including Christianity, which he just views as another tool of the state, quickly discarded when convenient for his Chechen mercenaries.
George Soros couldn’t have pulled off his warmongering plan without Vladimir Putin
so he thanks Russia for starting this unnecessary war
It’s an ugly war between two ugly nations.
I knew a guy years ago who told me the Republicans were responsible for Bill Clinton perjuring himself. His reasoning: because the Republicans did a government “shutdown”, the White House had to use interns like Lewinski to fetch pizza for Clinton. QED - the Republicans caused the Lewinsky scandal.
They don’t have pontoon bridge equipment in Russia?......................
The Ukrainian military you support is STILL launching missiles and butterfly mines at the CIVILIANS in Donetsk. They are guilty of war crimes. But, it won't stop until the Russians assure their safety.
The ethnic Russian population in eastern Ukraine, with the help of Russia, IS LITERALLY fighting for its survival. They have been fighting a war of self-defense for eight years.
Hell was made for liars like you and those in the Biden regime and Deep State that caused this war.
I see what you did there….
Exactly.
By leveling Ukrainian towns and cities, slaughtering the Ukrainian population, and occupying the country, Comrade Kazan?
"Aie, yar! Every day, every minute there is something. Last night, according to the news-channels, they destroyed the main Spakum space-fleet for the tenth time. Today they are pursuing the remnants of what is said to have been destroyed. For months we have been making triumphant retreats before a demoralised enemy who is advancing in utter disorder." He made a sweeping motion with a podgy hand. It indicated disgust. "I am fat, as you can see. That makes me an idiot. You wish -?"
Breathe
Chillax a bit
Both things can be true
They don't have spoons, forks or straws, either.
The neo nazis are on Putin’s side.
What do you think the Wagner group are?
And no butterfly mines are tossed into the Donbas except in kremlin propaganda.
Zelensky is an ethnic Russian speaker as was Poroshenko.
