Novinar Guardiana Luke Harding, koji je u Ukrajini, javlja na Twitteru kako je ruska vojska u povlačenju digla u vazduh svu glavnu infrastrukturu u pokrajini Herson, uključujući most preko brane Kahovka. Sada nema prelaza između oslobođene desne obale Dnjepra i okupirane lijeve, uključujući grad Novu Kahovku.

The retreating #Russian army has blown up all major infrastructure in Kherson province including the bridge over the #Kakhovka hydro-electric dam. There are now no fixed crossing points between the liberated right-bank and the occupied left, including the city of Nova Kakhovka pic.twitter.com/GDXTZJcUK7

Harding je objavio i snimak eksplozije na brani, a kasno sinoć su objavljene i satelitske fotografije oštećene brane.

No doubt who are today’s victors in #Kherson. The crowd outside the city’s administration building is chanting “З-С-У”: the initials of Ukraine’s armed forces. An extraordinary day and a moment of history pic.twitter.com/pOKTpiJLbb

Valja istaći da su dopisnik engleske Sky televizije Alex Rossi i njegov tim prvi strani novinari koji su stigli do Hersona otkako su ga ukrajinske snage oslobodile, obilježavajući “istorijski dan” za Kijev i možda najvažniji strateški proboj za zemlju od početka ruske invazije.
