Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed a road bridge in the Novoekonomichne area of the Donetsk region.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this.

The enemy actively used the bridge for logistics and to support forward units.

The Defense Forces are currently identifying Russian logistics routes and destroying them.

This includes both destroying cars and trucks and disabling bridge infrastructure, including road and rail bridges.

For example, on July 15, 2026, operators of the 422nd Separate LUFTWAFFE Unmanned Systems Regiment of the 17th Army Corps struck a railway bridge in the southern direction.

Earlier, on July 1, a road bridge on the Donetsk-Mariupol highway, which the invaders use for logistical support, was destroyed.

A railway bridge was also critically damaged in the Luhansk region on June 26.

The structure played an important role in the railway connection between the occupied areas of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, allowing the enemy to transfer personnel, ammunition, and fuel.

In addition, the defenders are targeting enemy logistics at distances of up to 205 kilometers, as demonstrated by the unmanned systems battalion of the Third Assault Brigade.

During the operation, the drone attacked targets near the Izvaryne checkpoint in the Luhansk region.

Despite the long range, the lack of adequate air defenses enabled the attack. Amid the general shortage of such systems, Russian forces are suffering heavy losses in both infrastructure in the occupied territories and logistical transport.
