Overview

• Russian forces have renewed bombing of the Korabelniy bridge since August 2, severing the sole road link to Kherson’s island district and prompting mass evacuations of civilians who abandoned most belongings.
• Ukrainian rescuers report intermittent FPV drone 'double-tap' attacks on evacuation convoys, forcing volunteers to shield the elderly and infirm amid relentless bombardment.
• Electrical and gas supplies remain cut off in Korabelniy as continuous glide-bomb and airstrikes cripple local infrastructure and heighten civilian hardship.
• Zaporizhzhia authorities say 723 air, drone, artillery, and MLRS strikes hit twelve settlements in the past 24 hours, causing multiple casualties and widespread damage to homes and utilities.
• Kherson city officials warn that targeting of supply routes and civilian areas is intended to isolate the island district and erode morale, while hospitals in both regions treat dozens of new blast and shrapnel injuries each day.
