Quote from Humeniuk: "Intense combat efforts are currently underway [in the area of Antonivka Bridge – ed.].

The focus is on counter-battery warfare, as our front line is peculiar in that it runs across the Dnipro River.

Moreover, its course is somewhat deformed due to the disaster when the Ruscists [Russian forces] blew up the Kakhovka dam."

Background: On 1 July, the ISW reported that the Russian troops could not oust the Ukrainian forces, numbering up to 70 people, from their fortified positions under the eastern span of the Antonivka Bridge.
