Ukraine has been targeting bridges in Kherson to cut off Russian supply routes amid a counteroffensive.
Ukraine's military has destroyed a pontoon bridge built by Russian troops in the occupied Darivka village in the Kherson region, officials said Wednesday.
The development was reported by Ukraine's Operational Command South, which has been issuing regular updates on Kyiv's counteroffensive in the Kherson region. The area was seized by Moscow in the early stages of the war. "Hits are effective, damage is significant. The pontoon crossing set up by the occupiers in the Daryevka area was destroyed," the command said in a report on its Facebook page.

Ukraine claimed Wednesday to have destroyed a pontoon bridge built by Russian troops in the occupied Darivka village in the Kherson region.
It is difficult to see in this photo, but the pontoon bridge in Daryivka is partially covered with tree branches from above. There is also some work going on.
