Assault on Davydov Brod: AFU Sets up Bridgehead for Offensive on Novaya Kakhivka

Ukrainian troops have achieved significant successes in the Kherson region.

Ukrainian defenders launched a counteroffensive in the Kherson region and stormed Davydov Brod in the Kherson region. This settlement is located on the banks of the Ingults River and is of core strategic importance, Channel 24 reports.

According to Viktor Andrusiv, adviser to the head of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, the storming of Davydov Brod is a very important success.

According to Andrusiv, a bridgehead can be created there and the highway to Novaya Kakhivka can be seized.

"It could be a decisive blow to the Russian grouping and threaten the cut-off of Kherson from the Russian army's rear lines," he explained.

The settlement of Davydov Brod is located on the bank of the Ingults River and the T2207 road leading to Novaya Kakhivka. That is why the set-up of a bridgehead on the eastern bank was crucial for the AFU. The other day the network published a video of the destruction of the occupants with the help of American M777 howitzers.

The situation in this area may be considerably complicated by the bridge over Ingulets that was most likely destroyed. There is a photo of the central bay of the bridge blown up.

The address of the head of the Mykolaiv OVA Vitaly Kim noted the invaders did blow up the bridge in Davydov Brod. All because the occupiers are afraid of a counterattack by the Ukrainian army.

However, blowing up the bridge does not mean a halt in hostilities in this direction. It can only temporarily complicate logistics.

Even if it was the only crossing in the area, and the AFU did not set pontoons, it will only temporarily complicate logistics. However, on the battlefield, it is possible to restore the bay thanks to the installation of a mechanized bridge. The average installation time of a 10.5-meter block for such equipment as the automobile TMM-3 is 11 minutes.

The AFU General Staff notes as of the morning of May 31, occupiers had the heaviest losses in the Kryvyi Rih as well as Zaporizhzhia directions over the past 24 hours.
