Road to the bridge over the Mius closed after drone attack

Head of Rostov Region Yuri Slyusar said in his channel on the MAX messenger, that traffic on a section of the R-280 highway on the way to the bridge over the Mius River has been closed: the road was damaged in a drone attack on the morning of November 8. The governor said emergency services specialists are working at the scene, promised to provide further updates on traffic changes, and urged drivers to choose detour routes. He also warned that the drone threat in Rostov Region persists.

Context: overnight drone attack

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, over the past night air defense duty forces intercepted and destroyed 142 unmanned aerial vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces over Russian regions. Earlier, a drone attack on Oryol Regionwas reported. Thus, the damage to the R-280 section in Rostov Region occurred against the backdrop of an overnight attack with a large number of claimed interceptions; the consequences for traffic on the highway remain an open question — the timeline for restoring the section and the detour scheme had not been clarified at the time of publication.
