Ukrainian drones destroyed two bridges in Belgorod: an ammunition depot was found underneath them.
Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian bridges
According to The Sun: Important bridges in Belgorod region, which served as key supply routes for Russian troops, were destroyed by Ukrainian drones.
Both crossings were blown up as a result of an attack by two 'cheap' drones, which struck a hideout of mines concealed under the bridges.

The video shows a drone targeting a bridge, after which a powerful explosion occurred, sending fire and thick smoke into the air.
Trees and forest areas were destroyed as a result of the explosion.
The 58th separate mechanized brigade of Ukraine, which carried out this operation, reported to CNN that they noticed anomalies on the bridge: 'when it became clear that something was happening'.
During reconnaissance using drones, a huge amount of anti-tank mines and other ammunition products were discovered.
These bridges remain strategically important for Putin, as they are mined, allowing for a quick detonation in the event of a Ukrainian offensive.
The story of the destruction of bridges
This is not the first case where Ukraine destroys Russian crossings. Earlier this year, Ukrainian forces attacked the famous Crimean Bridge, using more than one ton of underwater mines.

This is at least the third attempt to destroy this important road and rail connection between Russia and occupied Crimea.
A special unit of the SBU, which is responsible for recent drone strikes in Russia, took responsibility for the previous attack.
They noted that their agents spent several months preparing and placing mines under the 12-mile road and railway.
This happened after Ukrainian special forces destroyed Putin's bridges last year using missiles made in the USA.
Impressive footage shows a series of attacks in Russia's border region as Kyiv continues its active offensive towards Kursk.
According to data from Kyiv, heavy Russian machinery was destroyed alongside the bridges.
Video also showed Ukrainian military destroying Russian ammunition depots, fuel depots, radio-electronic warfare complexes, and a 152-mm D-20 gun, as reported by a military officer in Ukraine to the Kyiv Post.
These events highlight the importance of Ukrainian attacks on steel supply nodes, which significantly impact the strategic situation on the front. By noting the destruction of key facilities, Ukraine demonstrates its satisfaction with the success of defensive actions and intent to continue its offensive.
