In Kherson region, occupants intensify assaults near Antonivsky bridges

Last week, Russian troops attempted to attack the Antonivsky road and railroad bridges in Kherson region more than 25 times, as well as to land on the islands at the mouth of the Dnipro River.

This was reported by Vladyslav Voloshyn, spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine, on the air of the United News telethon.

According to him, the occupiers made 25 to 30 assault attempts in the direction of Antonivsky bridges during the week. In addition, the Russian military tried to land on the islands of Bilohrudy, Nestryga and Milky.

At the same time, no combat actions were recorded on the islands at the mouth of the Dnipro over the past day. The spokesperson suggested that this may be due to the regrouping of Russian army forces and equipment.

Despite this, Russian troops continue to conduct aerial reconnaissance and attack Ukrainian positions with drones and aircraft.

"We anticipate that the enemy will not calm down, but will continue attempts to land and seize control of some islands," noted Vladyslav Voloshyn.

He added that the Ukrainian military is ready to destroy the occupiers in case of new landing attempts.
