Damaged but still stands: Russians bombed vehicular bridge in Kherson

Kherson bridge suffered heavy damage after a Russian airstrike hit the city on 2 August. A guided bomb targeted the crossing that connects central Kherson with the Korabel micro-district, leaving the area cut off from vehicular supplies and prompting evacuation calls from officials.

Kherson lies on the western bank of the Dnipro River, while Russian forces hold the opposite bank under occupation since 2022. Every day, Russian troops target Kherson civilians with drones, trying to force people out of the city. In addition to these drone attacks, Russia regularly bombs key infrastructure and significant civilian buildings across Kherson.

Kherson bridge hit by two guided bombs in evening attack

Head of Kherson Oblast Military Administration Oleksandr Prokudin reported on 2 August that Russian aircraft dropped two guided bombs on the city around 18:00. One of the bombs hit the Kherson bridge, tearing a large hole through the deck and cutting the only direct route into the Korabel micro-district. The bridge remains standing, but vehicle movement is now unsafe.

The explosions also damaged three single-family homes and a multi-story building near the bridge. A gas pipeline was hit, cutting gas supplies to the isolated district. Prokudin urged people to evacuate to safer areas of Kherson where temporary housing and support are available

Officials warn of isolation and disrupted supplies

Liga reports that Yaroslav Shanko, the head of the city military administration, explained on Ukrainian television that the damaged bridge was the only route for vehicles into Korabel. He confirmed that the attack had not collapsed the structure, but destroyed the road surface.

Prokudin noted that the damage has disrupted logistics, food deliveries, and essential supplies to the district. Without the bridge, moving goods and aid into Korabel will be difficult.

Specialists are inspecting the Kherson bridge to assess the scale of the damage.
