THIS is the dramatic moment Ukraine destroys a Russian bridge used by troops as a key supply route to the occupied Kherson region.
The crossing – which sits over the Konka River – was obliterated in an airstrike as Kyiv continues to fight against Vladimir Putin’s army despite peace talks.
The bridge has been the target of several Ukrainian attacks across the past three years of war with it often used to move military supplies across the region.
Ukraine’s latest devastating hit appears to have shattered any further hopes of Putin using it and left the Kremlin scrambling to secure a new route into Kherson.
Footage of the devastating bridge blast showed how a huge explosion rocked the small town of Oleshky.
A pinpoint attack shattered two sections of the bridge and left them crashing into the river below.
A billowing cloud of thick smoke, created by a huge fireball eruption, quickly appeared and washed over the occupied region.
The Konka river is a tributary of the nearby Dnipro River which has essentially been acting as the separating border between Ukrainian and Russian controlled areas of Kherson.
The strike reportedly came as a “complete shock” to the occupying Russians.
