The Russian forces, after landing on the isolation island of Kherson, found that the Ukrainian forces were trying to use the Ostrovsky Road Bridge over the Kosevaya River, a tributary of the Dnipro River, to reinforce the Kalantyev Island (also known as Korablev Island, Korablev District, or Isolation Island). Therefore, they dispatched aerospace forces to conduct an air strike on this bridge. In early August, this road bridge had already been seriously damaged in an attack by the Russian Aerospace Forces, and its passage capacity had significantly decreased. However, according to reports from the Russian side, the Ukrainian forces had repaired the bridge after early August in order to continue connecting the isolation island with the main city of Kherson.
To prevent the Ukrainian forces from retreating from the isolation island or using the Ostrovsky Road Bridge to reinforce the isolation island, the Russians conducted new bombing on this bridge. In addition to bombing the bridge, Russian aircraft also dropped at least four glide-guided bombs on the Ukrainian positions on the isolation island.
The Russian naval infantry who crossed the Dnipro River and landed on the isolation island established a bridgehead in the shipyard, and under the cover of their own powerful firepower, continued to expand the bridgehead.
