Ukrainian drones strike bridge on Rostov-to-Crimea highway, damaging it and halting traffic

Ukrainian drones attacked a bridge on the Rostov-on-Don route to occupied Crimea, damaging it and forcing its closure. The strike was reportedly carried out by FP-2 drones. Rostov Governor Yuri Slyusar confirmed the bridge over the Mius River on the R-280 highway was blocked after the attack and falling debris. He also reported a transformer damaged at a substation, causing power outages in several villages. The R-280 highway, built as an alternative to the Crimean Bridge, has been a target of Ukrainian strikes. Ukrainian forces have reportedly reduced military cargo traffic on this route by 71%, and the bridge was already under major repairs.
