Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov published a photo that purports to show the concrete structures set up in the middle of a street.
The Institute for the Study of War , a United States think tank, said in its daily update of the war on Sunday that Russian forces are placing dragon's teeth anti-tank defenses in the city.Above, people walk past the still-smoldering remnants of a car bomb explosion outside a building housing a local TV station in the Russian-held city of Melitopol in southern Ukraine on October 25, 2022.
"Russian 'dragon's teeth' are placed closer to civilians – in the middle of central streets and residential neighborhoods," he added.The move comes after Ukraine last week claimed anused by Russian troops to transport military equipment into Melitopol. It appears to be part of an effort by Ukraine to ramp up its counteroffensive efforts in the Zaporizhzhia region.
Ukraine said it destroyed the key bridge that Russian forces used to transport military equipment across the Molochna River. The bridge connects the city of Melitopol and the village of Kostyantynivka in Zaporizhzhia."In Melitopol, the bridge that connected the city with the village of Kostyantynivka was 'tired,'" he wrote."This is one of the strategically important objects after the 'fatigue' of the Crimean bridge.
Fedorov added:"Well, rashists, the ZSU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] is already nearby. You will run away without looking back!"
