in the #BBCWorldService bulletin:
A #Russian-installed official says Ukrainian forces have damaged two bridges linking the occupied region of #Kherson to #Crimea . Vladimir Saldo claimed Storm Shadow missiles were used in the attacks. They're advanced, long-range weapons given to #Ukraine by its Western allies. Saldo posted pictures showing huge holes in the #Chonhar Bridge. He said 12 missiles were fired in total but nine were shot down. Traffic has been diverted much further westwards.
The bridge from #Kherson oblast leading to the Arabat Spit has reportedly been hit with Storm Shadow #missiles. There are also claims from Vladimir Rogov, head of the military-civilian administration in #Zaporizhzia that the #Chonhar bridge, somewhat west, is hit.

The white mark north is probably a stopped train. https://t.co/2No2qL5xs2" / X

It is now absolutely certain that the rail bridge of Chonhar connecting Russian-occupied Crimea with the remaining Russian-occupied Kherson Oblast has been severely hit.
Coordinates: 45°57'10.71"N, 34°28'47.18"E
Both the rail and the road bridges in Chonhar hit by Storm Shadow missiles, Russian occupation head for Kherson said. This is a major logistical disruption for supplies to Russian troops in south Ukraine. #Chonhar #StormShadow #Kherson #counteroffensive #Ukraine
"Repairing the #Chonhar road bridge after a missile strike #Russia has blamed on #Ukraine could take up to several weeks, a Russian-installed transport ministry official in #Crimea was cited as saying on Thursday." #ChonharBridge #UkraineWar
