The Russian commentator Igor 'Strelkov' Girkin has confirmed that the Antonivsky road and rail bridges near Kherson, attacked last night apparently by Ukrainian HIMARS, are now out of action. Translation follows: @RALee85 @wartranslated 
Finally! The first road bridge across the Dnieper was taken out of operation ... True, so far it's in Kherson, and not by our troops ... But never mind, "bad things begin". /1
And without irony - the enemy units, having crossed the river Ingulets, captured the village Andreevka (Beryslav direction, between Snigiryovka and Davydov Brod). It seems that "Girkin beckoned" again (just yesterday he wrote about the threat in this area). /2
It is not clear to me whether the Armed Forces of Ukraine's offensive has begun or just a tactical attack so far. /3
P.S. It is still a tactical advance. The Ukrainians created a bridgehead on the southern bank of the Ingults River for a further offensive. The railway bridge is also damaged. /4
Our troops have already started pontoon crossings. The problem is that pontoon bridges have much lower carrying capacity and are much more vulnerable to enemy missile attacks. /end
