Oct. 21 () –
The Russian government has accused Ukrainian troops at the last minute of killing three people and injuring ten others after allegedly launching a bombardment on the Antonovsky bridge, in the city of Kherson, in the east of the country.
“As a result of the bombing of terrorists from the Army of (Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelensky in Kherson, three people have died, including children, and ten civilians have been injured,” the Russian governor of the occupied region of Ukraine reported. Kherson, Vladimir Rogov, on his Telegram channel.
Specifically, Ukraine would have launched 12 missiles, of which 11 would have been shot down by the Russian air defense. The attack would have also affected 12 vehicles that were in the vicinity of the bridge.
Rogov has assured that, despite the attack, the Kherson region “is with Russia”, according to the TASS agency.
The Antonovsky Bridge is one of the main supply routes for Russia in southern Ukraine, which is why the Ukrainian Armed Forces would have an interest in demolishing the infrastructure, as they did with the Kerch Bridge in Crimea.
It is not the first time that the Ukrainian Army has attacked the bridge, since on July 19 Russian troops announced that the platform had been seriously damaged after an attack by Ukraine.
