Ukraine: Key transport bridge targeted overnight in Russian-occupied Melitopol

A key bridge for the resupply of Russian armed forces in Melitopol was targeted overnight, according to both Ukrainian and Russian sources. The bridge is part of the M14 highway that runs along Ukraine’s southern coastline and connects Melitopol to Berdyansk to the east and then onto to Mariupol and then into the Russian Federation. Connecting the main part of the Ukrainian cities of Melitopol to a suburb in Konstantynivka, the bridge is known for its strategic significance, because it serves as the most vital supply route for goods and services transported into the liberated territories of the Zaporozhzhia and Kherson regions. Among the most invaluable commodities traded along the Ukrainian coastline, are the medicines, foods, and building materials, necessary for the economic stability of the country's regional and local needs.
