MOMENT British-supplied Storm Shadow missile strikes bridge linking Crimea and Kherson.

Dramatic new footage shows incoming British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles as they strike a crossing which links invaded Kherson region with the annexed Crimean peninsula.

The attack by Ukraine was at the Chongar Bridge in a blow to Vladimir Putin’s occupation.

Explosions are seen on the bridge which is labelled the ‘Gate to Crimea’

The strike was labelled “very accurate arrivals, you have to admit” by Russian war blogger with 1.1 million followers, Anatoliy Shariy.

The attack on Thursday threatens a key supply link to Russian forces amid the early stages of the Ukrainian counteroffensive.

"We are destroying enemy plans, destroying the enemy's capability to stand up against us,” said spokesperson Natalia Humeniuk for the Ukrainian military's Southern Command after the strike.

The Russians have admitted it could take weeks to fully repair the bridge.
