Near the temporarily occupied city of Mariupol, Ukrainian forces destroyed a railroad bridge built by the invaders as part of a plan to lay down a railroad from Russia to the city.
The Mariupol City Council announced this in a post on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.
“According to preliminary information, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a half-built railway bridge, fuel tanks and engineering vehicles outside the village of Hranitne near Mariupol," the post says.
The city council noted that this bridge was part of the Russian plan to lay down a railroad from Russia to Mariupol.
