Bridge to Bakhmut blown up near Chasov Yar

This was reported by Novosti Donbassa with reference to separatist telegram channels.

Pro-Kremlin military correspondent Aleksandr Kots posted a photo from the scene. It shows considerable damage to the bridge: it is impossible to drive over it.

This bridge is known as the "canal bridge" and is located on the service road that runs along the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal. The road heads towards Bakhmut.

The Russian Defence Ministry also published information about the undermining of the bridge near Chasov Yar.

We shall remind you that the Russian Wagner PMC decided to start retreating from Bakhmut starting from 10 May due to a shortage of ammunition, the head of the Wagner group, Yevgeniy Prigozhin, has said.
