Kyiv says it has recaptured eight villages so far, but it has yet to commit the bulk of its forces to the fight and its troops have yet to reach the main Russian defensive lines.

The bridge is one of a handful of access roads to Crimea, which a narrow isthmus links to the Ukrainian mainland. Russian investigators said four missiles were fired by Ukrainian forces at the bridge, the RIA news agency reported. It quoted a spokesman for military investigators as saying markings on one missile suggested it was made in France.

Russia says it has fended off the Ukrainian counterattack and inflicted heavy casualties, which Ukraine denies. Zelensky on Thursday accused Russia of planning a terrorist attack on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest, which is in Russian-held territory near the front line. Moscow denied any such plan.
