UPDATE: This is so transparently bogus that it’s funny.

Images of what the Russians are claiming were vehicles that were on one of the Chonga bridges at the time of the attack. They look more like wrecks from a junk yard that were placed there or moved out of the road after they broke down. One of the cars had its wheels and tires… pic.twitter.com/4FNcZGmDuj

A bridge that connects Crimea to the occupied Kherson region of Ukraine was hit with what appears to be a Storm Shadow missile last night and severely damaged. The bridge is about 120 km behind the front lines.

Video footage of the Chonhar car bridge reveal that the damage is more extensive then seen on the still-pictures.

This bridge carries a lot of the traffic that supplies Crimea (as the maps below show) and while it hasn’t been knocked down, it is currently closed to traffic.

Russian media report a strike on Chonhar bridge that connects Crimea with mainland Ukraine.

It is an important logistical point for Russians to transport military supplies to the temporarily occupied part of Ukraine.

Both the rail and the road bridges in Chonhar hit by Storm Shadow missiles, Russian occupation head for Kherson said. This is a major logistical disruption for supplies to Russian troops in south Ukraine. See the map. https://t.co/M4dTpXQqO0 https://t.co/g1SCGcH1jh pic.twitter.com/TcqJyTanDA

And the head of the Vichy government in occupied Kherson is making ludicrous threats of retaliating by blowing up a bridge connecting Moldova to Romania.

Putin isn’t that stupid. But even if they decided to try that, it’s doubtful they could pull it off.

BREAKING:

Russia threatens Romania and Moldova.

The so-called “Russian governor of the Kherson region” has stated that Russia will blow up the Galați-Giurgiulesti bridge linking Romania and Moldova across the Prut river.
