Russia-Ukraine war – 154th day of the invasion

Russian troops fired rockets at Odesa and Mykolaiv oblasts. In the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi district, the Russians destroyed five residential buildings, damaged more than 15 recreation centers, 60 summer cottages, and 80 shopping pavilions.

The strategic Antonivskiy Bridge in the Russian-occupied region of Kherson has reportedly been struck by Ukrainian forces hoping to disrupt Russia’s main supply route into the southern Ukrainian city. Multiple unconfirmed reports suggest Ukrainian forces conducted new strikes late Tuesday. “Explosions in the Antonivskiy Bridge area,” Ukraine’s armed forces said in a Telegram update just before midnight alongside a video purportedly showing the strikes.

Russian forces continued to strike civilian infrastructure in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, and the surrounding region in the country’s northeast. Regional governor, Oleh Syniehubov, said the strikes on the city resumed around dawn Tuesday: “The Russians deliberately target civilian infrastructure objects hospitals, schools, movie theatres. Everything is being fired at, even queues for humanitarian aid”.
