A missile strike hit a railway bridge in Melitopol, killing 5 people and wounding 4 others, Vladimir Rogov, a member of the Zaporozhye regional administration's main council, said on Sunday.

"Five people were killed, four people were wounded, two of them are in serious condition," Rogov said on Telegram.

The strike involved three HIMARS missiles, one of which was shot down, according to preliminary data.

Yevgeny Balitsky, the head of the Zaporozhye regional administration, said that the bridge was being repaired at the time of the attack.

Balitsky also extended his sincere sympathies to the victims' families, saying that the authorities will help the surviving family members of the deceased and injured.

Intentionally targeting the bridge, a facility used by civilians, the Ukrainian government committed yet another crime against people, Balitsky continued.

This comes a day after the Ukrainian troops hit a hospital in the Lugansk People's Republic's (LPR) Novoaidar, using the US-made multiple rocket launcher system HIMARS, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

The strike killed 14 people and wounded 24 others, including the hospital's staff, the ministry added.

A week ago, Kiev was scrambling to relocate its reserve troops to a frontline near Zaporzhye to attack Russian troops after the latter disrupted a Ukrainian supply line, Rogov said, revealing that the Russian military had taken full control of the Kamianske-Orikhiv highway, which served as a key channel in the transfer of Ukrainian troops, weapons, and munition.

The Ukrainian armed forces were facing a shortage of artillery munitions due to disrupted logistic chains and weapons depots eliminated by the Russian troops, he added.

This came less than a week after Rogov reported that Ukrainian forces shelled Polohy, Zaporozhye, which killed four civilians and seriously wounded five others.

Ukraine's attacks have escalated in Zaparozhye, alongside the neighboring regions of Kherson, Donetsk People's Republic, and Lugansk People's Republic, which have seen an uptick in violence from Ukraine since their accession into Russia in September.
