Ukrainian forces destroy bridges near Polohy used by Russia for Orikhiv offensive

Ukraine's 7th Air Assault Corps has reported that its units destroyed several bridges near Polohy, in Zaporizhzhia region, which Russian armed forces had been using for logistics support of their offensive toward Orikhiv.

According to the corps, airstrikes in the Polohy area have significantly restricted Russian troop logistics, making it harder to move equipment and personnel toward the front line. Video footage of the strike's results was also released alongside the report.

Significance for the front line

Polohy is an important Russian-controlled logistics hub in Zaporizhzhia region, providing supply routes for Russian forces operating in the Orikhiv direction. Destroying the bridges hampers the Russian military's ability to quickly move reinforcements, ammunition and armored vehicles to this section of the front.

Ukrainian forces have been targeting such logistics infrastructure to slow the pace of Russian offensive operations and reduce the enemy's capacity to sustain intensity along the front line. The source report does not specify the exact number or locations of the destroyed bridges.
