A crucial bridge on the road between the occupied cities of Horlivka and Yasynuvata in the Donetsk region was destroyed. Footage of the aftermath is being shared online, according to the Telegram channels "News of Donbas" and "Typical Donetsk."
The so-called mayor of the occupied city of Yasynuvata, Dmytro Shevchenko, claimed that Ukrainian forces allegedly destroyed the bridge. However, the Ukrainian command has not yet commented on the situation.
The published online footage shows that the bridge on the road between Horlivka and Yasynuvata is destroyed. Explosions and gunfire can be heard in the video.
Why is this bridge important?
It's worth noting that the occupiers used this short route for relatively quick travel from the temporarily occupied Horlivka to the occupied Donetsk. In addition, Yasynuvata is located near Avdiivka, where occupiers have recently intensified attacks.

Russian advance on Avdiivka
In recent days, Russian occupiers have intensified their offensive near Avdiivka. The epicenters of the fighting also include Bakhmut and the Kupiansk-Lyman line.
Occupiers are also heavily shelling Avdiivka and neighboring settlements. Defense forces note that the Russians are trying to encircle the city. Our defenders repelled about 20 attacks in the Avdiivka direction on the last day.
Why the enemy is storming the "gateway to Donetsk" and why Avdiivka is essential for the occupiers - in the material by RBC-Ukraine.
