The latest developments in Russia’s war on Ukraine. All times EDT.

3:32 a.m.: Russia’s National Anti-Terrorism Committee says that a truck bomb has caused a fire and the collapse of a section of a bridge linking Russia-annexed Crimea with Russia, The Associated Press reported. The committee said Saturday that the truck bomb triggered seven railway cars carrying fuel to catch fire. That resulted in a “partial collapse of two sections of the bridge.” The committee didn’t immediately apportion blame.

3:13 a.m.: Ukrainian authorities have found a mass grave in the recently liberated eastern town of Lyman and it is unclear how many bodies it holds, regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said in an online post on Friday, according to Reuters.

Separately, the Ukrinform news agency cited a senior police official as saying the grave contained 180 bodies. Ukrainian troops retook Lyman, in the Donetsk region, from Russian control on Saturday.

Ukrainian authorities have regularly accused Russian troops of committing atrocities in occupied territories, a charge Moscow denies.

Kyrylenko wrote on Telegram that officials in Lyman had found “a mass grave where, according to local information, there could be both soldiers and civilians. The exact number is yet to be ascertained.”

He said a second burial site with 200 graves had also been found, containing the bodies of civilians. It was not clear from his comments how or when they had died.

2:10 a.m.: A U.N. human rights body comfortably passed a motion on Friday to appoint a new independent expert on alleged human rights abuses in Russia, accusing Moscow of creating a “climate of fear” through repression and violence, Reuters reported.

The Russian government quickly made clear it would not cooperate with the expert.

Members voted 17 in favor and six against, with 24 abstaining. The move is the first time that the 16-year-old Human Rights Council (HRC) has set up a Special Rapporteur to examine the rights record of one of its so-called ‘P5’ members, which hold permanent seats on the Security Council.

“We want it to be clear today that we didn’t forget those who struggle for freedom at home while (Russian President Vladimir) Putin represses the Russian people and carries out aggression overseas,” Britain’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Simon Manley, told Reuters right after the vote.

Nearly 50 countries brought the motion including Britain, all European Union countries barring Hungary, as well as the United States, Ukraine, Japan and Colombia. China was among those opposed.

In Moscow, the foreign ministry said it firmly rejected the resolution on the grounds it contained false allegations, Tass news agency said.

1:17 a.m.: The International Monetary Fund announced Friday that it will provide $1.3 billion in emergency aid to Ukraine through its new food crisis assistance program. Agence France-Presse reported.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had unveiled the IMF’s aid earlier Friday. “The money will go to Ukraine today,” he said on Twitter, thanking the crisis lender’s managing director Kristalina Georgieva and its executive board.

The IMF also said Ukrainian authorities “deserve considerable credit for having maintained an important degree of macro-financial stability in these extremely challenging circumstances.”

For her part, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said that key policies have been geared toward safeguarding priority expenditures and preserving financial stability.

12:02 a.m.: Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree, published Friday, to set up a new operator for the Sakhalin-1 oil and gas project, following similar steps to seize other oil and gas projects with foreign participation, Reuters reported.

Exxon Mobil, with a 30% stake, was the operator of Sakhalin-1, a development in Russia’s Far East. The largest U.S. producer has been trying to exit Russia operations since March, days after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. Exxon declined to comment on Friday’s decree.

In April, Exxon took a $4.6 billion impairment charge for exiting its Russian activities, leaving Sakhalin-1 operation open for a takeover from a partner. It also proceeded to reduce oil and gas production volumes and remove personnel from the country.
