“The militants of the Ukrainian armed formations near the settlements of Zeleny Gai and Mirolyubovka of the Dnipropetrovsk region mined automobile bridges across the Srednyaya Tersa River,” the ministry said in a statement.

It is noted that in the future, Kyiv intends to accuse Russia of “indiscriminate strikes on important transport infrastructure facilities” with coverage in Ukrainian and Western media.

Earlier it was reported that Ukrainian militants mined a road bridge across the Konka River in the village of Tavriyskoye, Zaporozhye region, and plan to blow it up to blame units of the Armed Forces of Russia and the Donetsk People's Republic.

Prior to this, the Russian Defense Ministry said that the Ukrainian military was shelling from private households in areas of the DPR controlled by them in an attempt to elicit return fire from the Russian Armed Forces and accuse Russian military personnel of indiscriminate strikes.
