Crimea transport routes face renewed disruptions after drone and missile claims
Transport routes to and within occupied Crimea have experienced further disruptions following recent attacks. The Chonhar bridge and the Henichesk-Arabat Spit bridge were closed after drone and missile claims.
Transport routes to and within occupied Crimea have experienced further disruptions following recent attacks. On June 9, the Chonhar bridge, linking Crimea to Russian-controlled Kherson, was again closed after a drone attack. Russian-appointed officials claimed air defenses intercepted over 20 unmanned aerial vehicles. Separately, the bridge connecting Henichesk to the Arabat Spit was also closed, with Russian-appointed authorities reporting an attempted Ukrainian missile strike early that morning. These incidents follow confirmed Ukrainian Special Operations Forces strikes on the Semikolodezyansk oil depot and an oil terminal in Feodosia on June 7. Satellite imagery has corroborated damage to the Chonhar bridge from the June 7 attack, showing dark spots and a deployed pontoon crossing nearby.
