Quote: "The bridge that used to connect the city of Melitopol with the village of Kostiantynivka has been attacked. This bridge held strategic importance after the Crimean bridge was damaged. It was this bridge that the occupiers were using to transport military equipment from the Eastern front. Well, Ruscists, with no respect whatsoever, I am warning you – the Armed Forces of Ukraine are near. You will run for the hills!"

Details: RIA Melitopol reports that right after the explosions on the bridge in Melitopol, the occupiers began jamming mobile communication and Internet connection in some parts of the city.

The Russian news agency RIA Novosti, with reference to the occupiers, reported that, according to the preliminary reports, an explosive was planted in the suburb of Melitopol.

The occupiers claim that "the bridge has survived, but the roadway was significantly damaged."

Traffic on the bridge has been suspended for the time being.
