💨 Abstract

Russia intensified efforts to control the key Ukrainian city of Kherson, targeting a vital bridge and attempting to cut off access routes with drones. Recent airstrikes damaged a critical bridge, prompting a massive evacuation of civilians from the island of Korabel. Despite a brief lull, drone attacks and bombings resumed, causing significant worry. The bridge remains a strategic target, with fears that further strikes could precede a Russian landing. Evacuations continue, with elderly residents expressing exhaustion and despair.
