#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
Day 1282 of Russia's all-out war is another very grim day with at least 15 civilians murdered by Putin's regime in clear attacks on residential buildings and areas of Kyiv.
Here's the Ukraine-Russia thread for Thursday 28 August 2025
A quiet start to Wednesday exploded into life - more importantly death - in the early hours in Kyiv.

For anyone who missed it yesterday, I am on a different time zone, explaining a later start. It's 07:10 in New York where I am for a few days. So my apologies if you were looking for me earlier.
In the coming days I'll try to start the thread before I go to sleep here.
Good morning world! It's Day 1281, so it must be thread number 1281 (4205 since the start of the Crimea invasion)
Every day documenting the news, without gratuitous gore, and the war crimes as Russia continues its unprovoked all-out war against a sovereign neighbour.
If you missed anything on Tuesday, it's simple to catch up. Just click this link for the start of yesterday's thread and scroll down to where you last read and then continue reading through to the end.
But remember to come back here!
Welcome to Thursday's thread with all the important news on Russia's illegal war in Ukraine.
It's Day 1275 - the day Putin openly mocks Trump.
After China + India upped oil purchases, the indicted war criminal ordered his army to bomb a US company in🇺🇦
Let's begin:
Ukraine is recovering from the predicted massive overnight attack.
Russia launched more than 600 missiles and drones.
The mayhem started in the last third of yesterday's exhausting thread. If you missed it, click and scroll here:
It's Day 1274 of Ukraine's incredible defence of its people, land, culture + shielding many NATO states, next on Putin's hit-list from his long stated dream to reunite the USSR
Somehow Trump & his cults (I nearly misspelled that) seem intent on helping Putin.
Here's the daily🧵
Tuesday was another 50+ post thread, packed full of some more untold insights into Ukraine news and life, including the resurgence of Covid and a language 'foul' on the football field.
But politics and Russian atrocities are omnipresent.
Here's your link
Let me start with an unwanted shock for residents in Poltava, who were warned of a radiation threat this morning, I imagine sparking all sorts of horrific thoughts.
Thankfully, the governor says it was human error, Myrhorod should've had an air alert, not the radiation warning.
Zelenskyy's forced to be careful, but Ukraine's always been ready for the unconditional ceasefire Trump first demanded 5 months ago. So no surprise he's travelling to Washington on Monday
It's Alaska Day, or a couple of half-baked Alaskas meeting later as Russia hopes to carve up Ukraine, with Trump's approval.
That's much later on Day 1269 of Putin's war.
As I start this thread at around 02:30 GMT, 05:30 Ukraine, there is a big attack on Russia.
Let the🧵begin
In a rush to get to sleep, so let me waste no further time in giving the link to yesterday's thread.
Both X and BSky have been a bit crappy scrolling through threads. One thing you can do is click my profile and then "replies", click one + scroll up
