Russian Armed Forces destroyed the bridge for the second time bridge between Severodonetsk and Lisichansk, Luhansk region. For the first time, pro-Russian militants blew up the bridge in 2014.
There is still a connection between Severodonetsk and Lisichansk
The fact that infidels destroyed the bridge between Severodonetsk and Lysichansk, May 21 said the head of the Lugansk regional military administration Serhiy Gaidai.
According to Gaidai, it can be concluded that the Russian armed forces blew up the bridge on Saturday, May 21. The head of the Lugansk OVA stressed that this is the second time the Russians have blown up this bridge.
In July 2014, during the liberation of Lisichansk, militants blew up the span of the bridge during their retreat. Since then, communication between the two cities of 100,000 has been difficult. The bridge was restored in 2016. Today history repeated itself, – said Gaidai.
He stated that there is still communication between Severodonetsk and Lisichansk. Gaidai also posted a photo of the destroyed bridge.
