More details: Eight road workers were injured. Two of them are in a serious condition. Road equipment unique to Ukraine used at the site also sustained damage.
Sukhomlyn said the facility was hit by two ballistic missiles with cluster warheads, calling the strike a deliberate attack by Russia on civilians and civilian infrastructure.
Quote: "They [workers] were simply doing their jobs, ensuring the transport network was functioning and supporting the region's critical logistics.
