Ukraine targets Crimea supply routes, hits Sevastopol military object

Ukrainian forces continued targeting Russian supply lines to Crimea with missile and drone strikes on bridges, while a Neptune missile hit Sevastopol. A Ukrainian commander confirmed critical damage to the Chonhar bridge.

Ukrainian forces continued their efforts to disrupt Russian supply lines to Crimea, with multiple strikes reported on June 11. A "Neptune" missile reportedly hit a Russian military facility in Sevastopol. The Chonhar bridge, previously damaged, sustained critical damage from a second Ukrainian strike, rendering it impassable and forcing Russian forces to seek alternative logistical routes for supplies, according to a Ukrainian commander. Russian-appointed Kherson official Vladimir Saldo asserted that Ukrainian forces targeted all bridges connecting mainland Ukraine to occupied Crimea, specifically mentioning crossings near Preobrazhenka, Myrne, Perekop-Armiansk, and Stavky. Additionally, the bridge linking Henichesk to the Arabat Spit was closed following an attempted strike. Ukraine's Commander of Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert Brovdi, reiterated the goal of isolating Crimea by controlling the "Novorossiya" highway. Separately, Russian forces attacked Konotop, causing one fatality.
