On the morning of August 25, around 5 am, explosions and a fire were heard again near Antonovsky Bridge. Probably, a column of enemy vehicles could also catch fire there.
This Channel 24 was told by Kherson activist Vladimir Molchanov. According to the testimonies of people waiting for the ferry at the bridge, the hits were in the same place where there were previous arrivals. Visually, the holes in the structure have expanded.
The invaders are now walking on the bridge, but they are not driving – now it is blocked. According to Molchanov, as soon as the Russians can at least fix everything cosmetically, they will immediately drive on it. However, now, according to some sources, in some parts of the bridge there are such holes that no transport other than a motorcycle can pass.
Molchanov admits that earlier the invaders somehow managed to transport military equipment across the Antonovsky bridge.
Therefore, you still need to finish him off and finish him off again. While traffic is blocked. But it's not the first time they've blocked it. There is a bad trend that, after past strikes, they began to drive in columns along the Antonovsky bridge. Although they didn’t risk doing it before,” Molchanov noted.
In addition, do not forget that the occupiers have almost completed the construction of the barge crossing. It is located under the Antonovsky bridge. And it also needs to be destroyed.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine could destroy the air defense installation on the Kakhovka Bridge
Molchanov added that on August 24, the Armed Forces of Ukraine once again hit the bridge near the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. There were arrivals in the canvas above the lock passage. There is the longest part of the bridge – almost 20 meters. On average, the distance between other supports is 13 meters.
It is interesting that one of the rockets hit another place on the bridge. There, Molchanov notes, most likely there was an air defense system that the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully destroyed.
Recall that in the temporarily occupied Kherson, the occupiers are pulling barges under the Antonovsky bridge. They want to organize an alternative crossing to deliver military equipment and ammunition. Such a crossing can compensate for the loss of the bridge in some way, but they will be able to transfer weapons much more slowly. In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are also capable of hitting such a crossing.
