reported that the TV and radio company's employees and their relatives were injured, and announced that about 12 people were wounded and three people were killed. The channel does not mention the names of the dead, however.

Most writes, the river crossing was attacked at around 11 p.m. on October 20. The occupiers had mentioned the river crossing's working hours in their SMS-messages about evacuation: from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. No messages mentioned the crossing operating at night.
The media also reminds that there is a curfew in occupied Kherson that lasts from 22:00 to 05:00. The media concludes that at 11:00 p.m., the occupiers were only transporting "people from some categories that are special for them, who had permission to move around the city during the curfew" to the Dnipro's left bank.
"These could be either military or civilian Russians who worked for the occupation authorities, or some of the local collaborators. If someone really was crossing with their family, with underage children, and if there are indeed victims among the children, then the fault lies entirely with the occupiers. They were the ones who put people at risk, knowing that the crossing is also used to move the occupiers' military equipment and manpower, therefore it is a legitimate target during military operations," the media notes.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed striking the Antoniv bridge near the temporarily occupied Kherson. However, they denied that civilians could have been injured.
On the air of the telethon, Natalya Humenyuk, the spokeswoman of the "South" Operational Command, denied the Russians' claims about civilians being killed by the shelling of the Antoniv bridge.
"Even the occupiers say that there should be no civilians on the bridge at this time, because these are curfew hours," she said, according to
Hromadske.
