Russia launched two missile strikes and damaged a strategic bridge in Ukraine's Odesa region, state railways and local officials said on Wednesday, an event that could affect Ukrainian plans to expand exports through Danube ports.
The bridge links mainland Ukraine with part of the Odessa region near the mouth of Danube.
The bridge across the Dniester Estuary is a part of the only fully Ukrainian-controlled railway route to Ukraine's ports on Danube, which Kyiv regarded as a promising route for exports in a situation where Black Sea ports are blocked.
