“The strike, it seems, was not only on the bridge itself but also on ‘humanitarian aid and mineral fertilizers,’ which the intellectually deficient (Russians) dragged over for delivery across the river,” the military said, referring to common false Russian claims that their ammunition and weapons supply shipments are humanitarian aid and fertilizers.

“These ‘blankets and pillows’ burned and exploded for a long time,” Ukraine’s military added.

Ukraine first struck the road bridge, a key supply route for Russian occupiers in Kherson Oblast, overnight on July 27. Russian collaborator Kirill Stremousov stated that the bridge had sustained notable damage, making it unsuitable for traffic. The collaborator added that the railway bridge, about 6 kilometers away, had also been hit.
