Ukrainian drones damage key bridge in Russia's Rostov Oblast, disrupting military logistics

Ukrainian defense forces damaged a bridge over the Mius River in Russia's Rostov Oblast on the morning of November 8, disrupting a key military logistics route. Traffic is now operating in reverse mode, according to regional governor Yuri Slyusar. The strike occurred at the 97th kilometer of highway R-280 in Neklinovsky district, damaging the road surface and two crawler cranes, with no casualties reported. The drone attack was still ongoing at the time of the governor's statement. The bridge is one of 30 critical structures—15 railway and 15 road bridges—identified by the Telegram channel "Mariupol Resistance" as vital for sustaining Russian forces in Ukraine. These crossings form a logistical loop that isolates the front line.
