Ukrainian Marines Cut Crucial Russian Supply Route At Two Points South of River

Ukraine's cross-Dnipro bridgehead is expanding to the point that some observers are now calling it a front. 

Ukrainian forces have now cut in two places the road Russia uses to supply and connect it troops in the area, further degrading the Russians' ability to defend against the Ukrainian attacks. The Ukrainian advance south of the river has gained momentum as well as territory and continues to pose a serious threat to Russia. JL 

Olena Ivashkiv reports in Ukraine Pravda:

Ukrainian troops have cut the Oleshky-Nova Kakhovka Road in at least two districts. (They) established continuous control over positions from the Antonivka Railway Bridge north of Poima to the Antonivka Road Bridge north of Oleshky (7 km south of Kherson and 4 km from the Dnipro River.) and have advanced into the forests south of Krynky. Russian forces currently on the Kherson front will not be (sufficient) to respond to Ukrainian operations on the eastern bank of the Dnipro.

Ukrainian troops have cut the Oleshky-Nova Kakhovka Road (53 km northeast of Kherson) in at least two districts.

Details: Mashovets also said that as of 9 November, Ukrainian troops had established continuous control over positions from the Antonivka Railway Bridge north of Poima to the Antonivka Road Bridge north of Oleshky (7 km south of Kherson and 4 km from the Dnipro River.) 

In addition, on 9 November, Russian military bloggers said that Ukrainian troops had established control over new positions in Krynky (30 km northeast of Kherson and 2 km from the Dnipro River) and stormed Russian positions south and southwest of the settlement. 

A Russian military blogger claimed that there is information that Ukrainian forces have advanced into the forests south of Krynky.

Other military bloggers claimed that Ukrainian troops also attacked near Poima (12 km east of Kherson and 4 km from the Dnipro River), Pischanivka (13 km east of Kherson and 3 km from the Dnipro River) and Pidstepne (17 km east of Kherson and 4 km from the Dnipro River), and are trying to consolidate their positions between Pidstepne and Kozachi Laheri (23 km northeast of the city of Kherson and 2 km from the Dnipro River). ISW analysts believe that it is likely that it will be difficult for the Russian military command to relocate combat-ready reinforcements to respond to Ukrainian operations in Kherson Oblast while simultaneously conducting defensive operations in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and supporting other offensive actions in the east of Ukraine. 

They also noted that currently unused Russian forces on the Kherson front will not be enough to respond to Ukrainian operations on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River.
