#Ukraine's South Division stated in its morning update the bridge near the Kakhovka Hydroelectric plant was the latest hit.
Some locals report this bridge is still being used but it's probably not safe for heavy vehicles.
There are more explosions reported now in #Lyubimivka
1/2 Not much movement lately on the eastern front with #Russia still struggling to make ground against #Ukraine's defences.
The invaders remain on the outskirts of #Bakhmut but by their own admission they are firebombing everything, even graveyards in the city in #Donetsk region
2/2
#Russia's Defence update says they "hit Chasovoy Yar, Pereezdny, Sporne, Yakovlevka and Vershiny in #Artemovsk (Ukr: #Bakhmut) direction."
They also carried out airstrikes on #Ukraine's Forces in Soledar, Zaitsevo and Vesela Dolina.

Another 200 of #Putin's cannon fodder "relieved of duty" and De-Nazified.
#Ukraine's Air Defence claims it's downed another of #Russia's Su-25 jets.
The United Forces Group, operating in the east, says it's also destroyed another 4 drones in the last 24 hours. They released these photos, which I cannot verify.
A prisoner swap deal between #Russia and the #USA seems a little closer today.
It's likely to involve basketball star Brittney Griner, former marine Paul Whelan and illegal arms-dealer Viktor Bout.
Satellite images published by @Maxar from the Zyabrovka airfield in #Belarus seem to confirm there likely was a (serious) engine problem and single explosion. Either that or sabotage/suicide.
Numerous artillery strikes in #Ukraine's northern oblasts of #Sumy and #Chernihiv.
Both regions were occupied in the early days of the war, five months ago.
Photos show latest damage to the villages of Senkivka + Gremyach (Chernihiv) and Basivka + Kindrativka (Sumy)
Previously it was repeatedly claimed by occupiers of #Donetsk as well as Chechen and other divisions. But this is the first time Moscow has definitively announced the total capture.
#Russia's Defence briefing also claims they've destroyed another #HIMARS system along with "up to 60 missiles"
Another two #Ukraine Mi-24 helicopters were also supposedly shot down in #Mykolaiv region.
Obviously nothing from any🇷🇺 briefing is verified
Today I've had two more contacts confirm the info that #Russia's occupiers are stealing cars in #Ukraine and trying to take them initially to Russia then beyond.
As one wrote "they are stealing everything possible, probably in preparation of leaving"
Another unverified report of sabotage inside occupied #Ukraine
Ex-Mayoral adviser to #Mariupol, Petro Andryushchenko says the whole city heard the explosion at a scrap metal place.
"We punish the greed of the occupiers with the ingenuity of the Mariupol resistance."
#Montenegro has declared #Russias ambassador to the country as "persona non grata"
He has 7 days to leave the country.
Montenegro says Vladislav Maslenikov was carrying out activities in contravention of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Communications
Just a senior "church" member breaking the Geneva Convention, sanctioning war crimes
Bishop Leonid Gorbachev of Russia's Orthodox Church, posted a video humiliating #Ukraine prisoners of war - forcing them to sing, stood on a table in front of 🇷🇺 flag
I've now had confirmation of one fatality in Russia's attack on Kyiv.
The injury count is now up to 16.
This is a video from first responders, trying to rescue those trapped in a collapsed apartment building in the Darnytskyi district.
Air alerts are beginning to be lifted in more regions of Ukraine.
Among those is Khmelnytskyi, where there was a drone swarm on the military airbase. No damage is reported.
Hello again. It's the daily Ukraine thread on Day 1540 of Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour, which never threatened nor ever fired a shot at Russia, until after the original 2014 invasion.
All the big news in one place, every single day. It's what I do!
Tuesday saw a late flurry by Ukrainian drones in Russia, while earlier the Terrorist State was having problems with self-starting fires.
Loads of other interesting stories in a near 50-post thread - missed anything? Click and scroll now:
A big daytime drone attack on Ukraine is ongoing as I type.
Explosions have been heard in Kyiv - air defence shooting them down as far as I can tell so far. About 30 Russian drones are attacking the region and city.
Day 1530 of the war in Europe.
After almost going through the night, it's a late start for me today, but details are now in from another dramatic night.
More civilians murdered in Ukraine, more Russian drones in NATO territory and more Russian ships hit.
Lots to catch up on..
We fell well short of 15k views yesterday despite a very long thread.
We ended with late night drone waves by Ukraine, while earlier on Saturday Russia was hitting buses and trains in another big daytime attack as Putin gets increasingly desperate.
The morning after the night before. A dreadful 24 hours for Ukraine as Terrorism rained down on all four of 🇺🇦's biggest cities.
Russia acts with impunity. Putin & his commanders have got away with war crimes for 4 years, so what will change?
Here's the🧵for Day 1513
As I type, BSky is down, which causes problems as it's much easier to simul-post than go back & repost everything later.
So, like the old days before fascism took over here, I'm on X (itter) only.
But these problems are infinitesimally small compared to 1000s in Ukraine today.
A pretty astonishing 24 hours of round-the-clock day and night attacks from Russia. Trying to exhaust Ukraine's air defence missiles and also exhaust the operators too, no doubt.
Many, many civilian deaths and injuries.
This is how it unfolded..
You've found the start of another daily thread and Friday is Day 1507 of Ukraine's heroic struggle to keep alive its independent statehood.
Since Bohdan Khmelnytskyi's uprising in 1648, Ukraine has never had 35 years of freedom. It's about to accomplish that, but at what cost?
All the important stories, throughout the day, every day. It's all fact-checked; I'm a real, trained journalist with vast experience and knowledge of Ukraine.
What's not to love?😆
Catch up on yesterday's thread here:
This is the beginning of the daily Ukraine thread on Day 1491.
The day started with an attack a major Russian port, which I was still reporting on during yesterday's🧵at 03:15 GMT/05:15 Kyiv
More details on that coming up.
The aerial fightback at the end of the day (start of today) came after Russia broke every record in the book for drone numbers during a cowardly attack on less protected city centres in the west of the country.
