ODESA/KYIV, Ukraine (Reuters) -The Ukrainian military said on Saturday it had killed scores of Russian soldiers and destroyed two ammunition dumps in fighting in the Kherson region, the focus of Kyiv's counter-offensive in the south and a key link in Moscow's supply lines.

Rail traffic to Kherson over the Dnipro River had been cut, the military's southern command said, potentially further isolating Russian forces west of the river from supplies in occupied Crimea and the east.

Ukraine has used Western-supplied long-range missile systems to badly damage three bridges across the Dnipro in recent weeks, cutting off Kherson city and - in the assessment of British defence officials - leaving Russia's 49th Army stationed on the west bank of the river highly vulnerable.

"As a result of fire establishing control over the main transport links in occupied territory, it has been established that traffic over the rail bridge crossing the Dnipro is not possible," Ukraine's southern command said in a statement.

It said more than 100 Russian soldiers and seven tanks had been destroyed in fighting on Friday in the Kherson region, the first major town captured by the Russians following their Feb. 24 invasion.

The first deputy head of the Kherson regional council, Yuri Sobolevsky, told residents to stay from away from Russian ammunition dumps.

"The Ukrainian army is pouring it on against the Russians and this is only the beginning," Sobolevsky wrote on the Telegram app.

The pro-Ukrainian governor of Kherson region, Dmytro Butriy, said Berislav district was particularly hard hit. Berislav is across the river northwest of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant.

"In some villages, not a single home has been left intact, all infrastructure has been destroyed, people are living in cellars," Butriy wrote on Telegram.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports. Officials from the Russian-appointed administration running the Kherson region earlier this week rejected Western and Ukrainian assessments of the situation.

Britain's Ministry of Defence said on Saturday that Russia had likely established two pontoon bridges and a ferry system to compensate for bridges damaged in Ukrainian strikes.

Russian-installed authorities in occupied territories in southern Ukraine were possibly preparing to hold referendums on joining Russia later this year, and were "likely coercing the population into disclosing personal details in order to compose voting registers," it added.

Yea.

Only Russians are getting killed. I never see this kind war in history o. Na only one side dey die

My own is that Ukraine should stop fighting on social media and do it on battle ground, when you take lands back we acknowledge you and praise your bravery, i am no Russia or Ukraine supporter. I follow both Ukraine and Russia since this started. Propaganda don't win war and both sides have been applying it and i take everything they say with pinch of salts

Reuters will not confirm news from the Ukrainian side, yet they will publish the news on their tabloids..

And this Olodo will bring it to Nairaland

Classic trolling. Which table have turned? You are even calling God on MLS HIMARS?

You sound very emotional. Please, don't get your hopes up, any talk of a Ukrainian counteroffensive is a pipe dream. Don't end up being brainwashed and disappointed like Igbofam who have retired to his Igbo Farm at Kwale in Delta State. Every sane mind knows that Ukraine have lost the war already.

Lmao. S-400 routed by Himars... Even Zelensky would be wondering where you get your facts from. Probably from British intelligence.

Ukraine have been using Himars to bomb civilian buildings and killing their own soldiers in captivity. There is no single Russian S-400 deployed in Ukraine, but in Belarus. And stop believing the propaganda...there is no Ukrainian counteroffensive other than firing Himars at the Kherson bridge It's laughable when simpletons like you easily fall for such nonesense. This was how the Lamestream media decieved you guys that Ukraine has countered attack and taken Severesdonetsk, alas, it was the other way round. Stop being fed lies and wait for the reality to manifest. Propaganda don't win wars. And listen attentively, Ukriane don't have the airpower, the needed ground forces and committed morale to initiate, sustain and realise a massive counteroffensive. These are facts, not some wishful thinking. Heck, they can't even hold on for long the frontlines in the Donbass where they have been losing territories gradually, with all their well entrenched fortifications being smashed to pieces by Russian artillery power. Right now, Russia is in the outskirts of Kramatorsk, and with the way the Russians are attacking other regions of Ukraine, it would be extremely difficult for Ukraine to even hold on to one area let alone find the forces to counterattack. You should be more worried about Zelensky future.

The Zelensky inner circle is now crumbling like anl pack of cards. The man keep sacking his most trusted men I'm his government, including people in the SBU. There is now growing talk of a possible assassination of the president by his own men who he is busy sacking, sending to the frontlines to die while he and his wife are posing for Vogue Magazine making money for themselves. In as much as I hate this war, relying on propaganda won't suffice to buttress your point. The reality is the reality, and the stark reality here is that Ukraine can never win against Russia.
