Occupiers continue to employ pontoons at Chonhar, Henichesk, allow part of the traffic flow via Armiansk – British intelligence
Russian occupation forces continued to employ pontoon bridges at Chonhar and near the town of Henichesk, Kherson region, on the administrative border between Kherson region and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea in southern Ukraine, as of the middle of August.
"Both permanent bridges sustained damage from Ukrainian precision strikes in early August 2023. The pontoon bridges are unlikely to be able to fully sustain the flow of heavy vehicles carrying ammunition and weaponry to the front," the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland said on Twitter on Wednesday.
British intelligence said the resulting bottlenecks mean Russian forces are partially reliant on a long diversion via Armiansk, northern Crimea. This is adding further friction to Russia’s logistics network in the south.
