Russian security forces’ confidence in their ability to protect “this large and vulnerable structure” will continue to be threatened by the “ingenuity” of Ukraine’s military, the report continued.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has made progress in its counteroffensive after crossing the Dnipro river.
Kyiv’s soldiers were able to set up positions on the opposite bank as they try and push the Russians back in southern Ukraine.
Pro-Kremlin military bloggers said Kyiv’s troops had created a bridgehead and were pushing toward the nearby town of Pishchanivka.
The town is south of a destroyed railway bridge and upriver from Antonivk.
The Ukrainians would have to make dangerous crossings through water to attack the Russians.
