Ukraine war latest: Ukraine hits key bridge on 'highway of death' linking mainland Russia to occupied regions

On November 7-8, Ukrainian drones targeted a key bridge and power stations in Russia's Rostov Oblast, causing traffic closures and blackouts. The bridge, located on the R-280 highway, connects Rostov Oblast with several Russian-occupied Ukrainian regions including Crimea. The Mius River bridge, which was struck by a Ukrainian FP-2 drone, links the southern Russian region with Mariupol, Melitopol, and Crimea.

No casualties were reported, but Ukrainian military intelligence identified Russian soldiers involved in a deadly strike on an aid center in Komyshuvakha. Ukraine also struck a Russian missile launcher and air defense system in Bryansk Oblast, while French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot announced that Europe would participate in upcoming peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi.
