Crimean transport routes face renewed disruptions after drone and missile incidents

Transport routes to and within occupied Crimea have faced renewed disruptions. On June 9, the Chonhar bridge, connecting Crimea to Russian-controlled Kherson, was temporarily closed following a drone attack. Russian-appointed officials claimed over 20 unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted. Separately, the bridge linking Henichesk to the Arabat Spit was also closed after what Russian-appointed authorities described as 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 shown damage to the Chonhar bridge from the June 7 attack, alongside a deployed pontoon crossing. A drone attack on June 8 also damaged a locomotive, suspending passenger train services.
