The Dariivka bridge has been blown up in the occupied part of Kherson Oblast, Pryamyi reports.

“The Dariivka bridge was blown up in Kherson Oblast. Preliminarily, the occupiers themselves destroyed it while ‘evacuating’ their pontoon crossings from there,” the report reads.

The Dariivka bridge is the only crossing across the Inhulets river in the Russian-occupied western-bank part of Kherson Oblast. The Inhulets divides the occupied area into two parts with the city of Kherson in the western part and Beryslav in the east.

Previously, Ukrainian GMLRS strikes made the Dariivka bridge unusable for heavy equipment.
