Details: Stremousov, who calls himself "deputy head of Kherson Oblast Military-Civilian Administration," reported that the Antonivka Road Bridge in Kherson was closed for transport following a strike carried out by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

In a video address earlier last night, Stemousov claimed that another Ukrainian attempt to strike the Antonivka bridge had been unsuccessful and the bridge was not damaged.

The Russian collaborator also said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to strike a rail bridge in Kherson Oblast.

Earlier: On the night of 26-27 July, posts about and videos of the strikes on the Antonivka Road Bridge and the response of the Russian air defence systems in the Russian-occupied city of Kherson began to appear on social media. There was no confirmed information about the consequences of these strikes.

The Antonivka Road Bridge has previously been struck and damaged.

This bridge is key to supply Russian invaders with soldiers and military equipment from occupied Crimea to Kherson.
