Retreating, the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants blew up the Togliatti—Odessa ammonia pipeline

The Ukrainian Armed Forces militants blew up a section of the Tolyatti — Odessa ammonia pipeline in the DPR in order to slow down the offensive of the Russian army. This was announced today, on September 9, by the Russian Defense Ministry.
