jason carroll has the latest on that region where the battle lines are constantly changing. >> theses say, are their strategy at work. ukrainian long range rockets struck a bridge in kherson in the russian occupied southern part of the country tuesday night. targeting russia's supply lines. by day, the damage done all too clear. the bridge not destroyed, still crossable, but the ukrainian government say it's damaged enough to prevent russians from using it to send in more heavy armor and other re-enforcements. the russians admit the bridge is closed off, but downplayed the bombing. local pro-russian officials saying the attack will ultimately have no effect on the outcome of the war. this as ukrainian authorities say russians are sending additional troops to the south. analysts say russia is preparing for a ukrainian counteroffensive that is slowly gathering strength in that part of the country. but in the eastern donetsk region, it's the russians on the front foot. these scenes from the town under relentless shelling by russian forces. one man recorded the aftermath of strikes on a

jason carroll is joining me from the kyiv region and nada bashir is in istanbul. to you first. we know that the ukrainian counteroffensive has made some ground overnight, mostly in the south and kherson. but what more can you tell us about the reports of the major strikes in the kyiv region? >> reporter: right, well, there have been a number of major strikes, some overnight in the area of kharkiv, two missile strikes there. one in the city center, another one on the outskirts of town in the surrounding area. also this morning as you mentioned in kyiv in the surrounding area on the outskirts, saw a missile strike there at what is being described as an infrastructure facility the last time the area saw a strike was back in june. but once again, christine, this is moscow's attempt to show that they can strike anywhere basically at anytime. and i think when you are taking a broader look across the country, when you look at the east, what they are seeing are incremental gains going back and forth on both sides. i think there is still a lot of attention in terms of what
