Bomb disposal experts of the State Emergencies Service started clearing the area around the bridge linking the government-controlled and separatist-held areas near Stanytsya Luhanska this morning, the district state administration has reported.
"This is the next step on our part towards repairing the bridge," it said.
As was reported on 17 July, the trilateral contact group on a Donbas settlement agreed that the sides would simultaneously start disassembling their fortifications near Stanytsya Luhanska to give bomb experts access to the bridge.
