Russia attacks bridges in the Odesa region: the goal is to isolate the region from the Danube.

According to ТСН: Russian military continues to attack bridges in the Odesa region, trying to isolate the western part of the region from transportation links.

Attacks on bridges

Electronics and communications expert Serhiy "Flash" Beskrestnov reported on recent strikes. On December 14, Russian forces used nearly 40 Shahed drones to attack a bridge in Zatoka; about twenty of them reached the target. On December 18, the enemy launched an attack on a bridge in Mayaky.

"They are trying to cut off the entire western part of the Odesa region from transportation communications. This is a route to logistics on the Danube," Flash explained the invaders' plan.

Vulnerability of transport routes

The expert also emphasized the possibility of establishing ferry crossings to maintain transportation links, although they remain vulnerable to Shahed drones. Beskrestnov added that online control of drones played an important role in executing the strike on the bridge.

Strike on a vehicle

On December 18, in the Odesa district, an enemy drone struck a private car passing over the bridge. The head of the Odesa regional military administration, Oleg Kiper, urged citizens to avoid movement towards the bridge in the area of the Dniester estuary, near the village of Mayaky.

Shortly thereafter, it became known about the temporary closure of the Odesa – Reni highway for transport in both directions.

These attacks on bridges in the Odesa region indicate the continuation of military actions aimed at complicating logistics and transportation links. The situation remains tense, so the relevant services call for caution on the roads, as the risk of new attacks remains high.
