Crimean transport routes face renewed disruptions after recent attacks
Occupied Crimea's transport infrastructure continues to be targeted, with key bridges closed and oil facilities struck, leading to significant disruptions across the region.
Transport routes to and within occupied Crimea have faced continued disruptions following recent attacks. On June 7, Ukraine's Special Operations Forces confirmed strikes on the Semikolodezyansk oil depot and an oil terminal in Feodosia. Satellite imagery later corroborated damage to the Chonhar bridge from a June 7 attack, revealing dark spots and a pontoon crossing deployed nearby. On June 9, the Chonhar bridge was again closed after a drone attack, with Russian-appointed officials claiming air defenses intercepted over 20 unmanned aerial vehicles. Separately, the bridge linking Henichesk to the Arabat Spit was also closed, following reports from Russian-appointed authorities of an attempted Ukrainian missile strike early that morning.
