DIU and partisans destroyed the railway bridge in occupied Berdyansk
Several powerful explosions were reported by local residents on social networks last night. As a result of successful sabotage actions, the railway viaduct (bridge) located between the Vodokanal building and the car wash on East Avenue was blown up, sources said.
According to the interlocutor of Online.UA in the State Government, the destruction of this bridge completely paralyzed the railway connection with Berdyansk.
As a result, it is impossible to deliver fuel and lubricants, weapons and ammunition for the occupying forces in the temporarily occupied Ukrainian city. And although the local occupation resources and propagandists claim that "all the bridges are intact", they do not show any photos of the allegedly whole bridge.
