Immediately, two bridges located on the territory of Ukraine temporarily occupied by the rashists were damaged by long-range weapons, which are in the equipment of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. A number of photos have appeared on the network, which testify to the next explosions at these facilities.
In particular, the Chonhar highway bridge was hit - this is what the published photos say, as well as the complaints of local gauleiters of the Kherson region and the temporarily occupied Crimea, Saldo and Aksyonov.

According to Aksyonov, the head of the occupation administration of Crimea, one missile allegedly hit the bridge, and some of the other missiles, according to the gauleiter, were shot down by the occupiers' air defenses.
At the moment, the traffic through the bridge (Chonhar checkpoint) is closed, the passage of vehicles and trucks between Crimea and the Kherson region and vice versa is carried out through the "Armyansk" and "Perekop" checkpoints. It will be recalled that earlier this bridge was hit at the end of June, while at the end of July the railway bridge over Chonhar was damaged.
In the photo below, you can see that the occupiers are probably planning to build a pontoon bridge — despite all claims that the bridge is not "critical" for them. Also in the photo you can see the barrier fences.
According to Saldo, the gauleiter of the Kherson region, the Chonhar Bridge was hit by Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
Information is also spreading on the network about an attack on another bridge in the temporarily occupied territory, namely the bridge that connects Henichesk with the Arabat Spit.
Petro Andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, reports about the attack in the area of one of the bridges near Henichesk. He also claims that one of the gas pipelines is also "a little tired". He also claims that a number of occupiers were wounded as a result of these strikes.
According to Saldo, the gauleiter of the Kherson Region, 12 missiles were allegedly fired at the bridge, 9 of which were shot down by the occupiers' air defenses. However, it is difficult to assess the condition of the bridge based on the available photos and videos on the network - it is possible that it may also be closed for an indefinite period.

We will remind you that earlier Defense Express talked about how the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully disrupted the logistics of the russian army in the south, destroying warehouses and limiting supply routes.
