The construction cranes on the Mius crossing were hit too, Rostov’s governor said, leaving a key link to the occupied south out of use.

Russia was widening this bridge to four lanes for its Crimea road. Drones have now closed it

On the morning of November 8, drones damaged the bridge over the Mius River on Russia's highway from Rostov to occupied Mariupol and Crimea, according to Rostov Oblast Governor Yuri Slyusar. The road leading to the crossing was closed by midday. The R-280, Russia's highway connecting Rostov to Crimea, has been the target of numerous drone strikes aimed at impeding Russia's army in occupied southern Ukraine.

This bridge, located 155 km from the front line, suffered damage from the drone attack and "falling debris," affecting both the bridge deck and two crawler cranes, with no reported casualties.
