Chongar railroad bridge seriously damaged: satellite photos have appeared
The network published satellite images that confirm the serious damage to the Chongar railway bridge after the "bavovna" in the morning of July 29. This bridge is an important logistical facility for the occupiers because it connects Crimea with the Kherson region.
The photos show that one of the spans of the bridge was "tired". The corresponding shots shared on his page on Twitter Japanese researcher Hidenori Watanawe.
The first image was taken by satellite from space on July 24. The second - on July 30, already after the Defense Force strike.

"The area circled in red appears to be damaged. A train can be seen to the north," commented the author of the post.
Apparently, the part of the structure that is over land, not water, has collapsed.
The damage appears to be severe

Recall: on June 22, 2023, the main road Chongar bridge was damaged. It is stated that the strikes were carried out by air-to-ground missiles Storm Shadow. Next to it is an old automobile bridge, which has long been in a state of disrepair. According to some information, it was hit as well. But Russian propagandists, who posted photos and videos of the aftermath of the strikes, recorded the destruction in close-up only on the new bridge.
On July 29, 2023, there was a second strike, but already on the railway bridge, which is located at a distance of about 8 kilometers from the road bridge. The explosions occurred in the early morning. Telegram-channel "Crimean wind" wrote that "Chongar bridge over".
The information was confirmed by Russians, who said in chats that the bridge was blocked because of the attack.

It's interesting that Russian propagandists at the time fancied as many as 12 Storm Shadow missiles that were supposedly all shot down.
Propaganda claimed "there is no panic" and blatantly lied about it

In the evening of the same day, the AFU center for strategic communications confirmed that the Ukrainian military had successfully struck the Chongar railroad bridge.

As OBOZREVATEL wrote, the terrorist state Russia is trying to accelerate the restoration of the bridge connecting the territory of the Russian Federation with the temporarily occupied Crimean peninsula. Repair work is being actively carried out on the bridge across the Kerch Strait. The invaders have brought there special equipment and dozens of workers.
