More than 600 tons of destroyed structures of the road bridge fell directly into the river during the active phase of hostilities in the region.
In addition, the press service of the State Inspection Service reported on Facebook that as a result of the destruction of the second bridge by the Russians, another 5 tons of construction debris fell into the Psel River.
