The Armed Forces of Ukraine struck the Antonivka Bridge in the occupied territory of the Kherson region.

The spokeswoman for the operational command "South" Nataliia Humenyuk informed about this on the air of the telethon on October 21.

"Yes, we maintain fire control [over the bridge], but we do not strike at critical infrastructure objects to damage them. We do not strike at the civilian population and settlements. Even the occupiers claim that civilians cannot be on the bridge at this time, because it is a curfew. There were no civilians there," Humenyuk noted.

On the evening of October 20, explosions rang out on the Antonivka Bridge. Russian propagandists claimed that there were allegedly four dead who were "evacuated" to the left bank of the Dnipro River. The bridge is open for civilians from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and the first reports of strikes began around 11:00 p.m.
