Renewed transport disruptions reported in and around occupied Crimea

Key transport routes to and within occupied Crimea, including the Chonhar and Arabat Spit bridges, have faced renewed closures following a series of drone and missile attacks, alongside confirmed Ukrainian SOF strikes on oil facilities.

Recent incidents have led to renewed disruptions in transport routes to and within occupied Crimea. On June 9, the Chonhar bridge, connecting Crimea to Russian-controlled Kherson, was temporarily closed following a drone attack, with Russian-appointed officials claiming 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. These events follow confirmed Ukrainian Special Operations Forces strikes on the Semikolodezyansk oil depot and an oil terminal in Feodosia on June 7. A drone attack on June 8 also damaged a locomotive, suspending passenger train services. Some reports suggest these incidents indicate a potential "logistical collapse" for Russian operations on the peninsula.
