Key Russian railway bridge destroyed in Belgorod near border with Ukraine

Ukraine has not confirmed if it stands behind the attack on the bridge, which lies on a supply line between Russia and territory it holds near the Donbas region.

A key Russian railway bridge has been damaged in the border region with Ukraine in a potential act of sabotage – as Russia relies on its railroads to shift its attacking forces in preparation for a massive assault on eastern Ukraine.

Photographs from the bridge in Russia’s Belgorod region showed that a section of rail had been forced upward, possibly due to an explosion. The photographs, as well as news of the incident, were first published on Tuesday by the local Russian governor and local media.
