Security camera footage shows the moment a Ukrainian Storm Shadow cruise missile struck Chongar bridge in southern Ukraine in an attempt to disrupt Russian resupply and reinforcements amid the ongoing counteroffensive.

Ukraine understands that their successes on the counteroffensive fronts are closely tied to the Russians' ability to keep their ranks filled and fully armed.
