Ukrainian forces confirm second Chonhar bridge strike amid ongoing attacks

Ukrainian military officials confirmed a second successful strike on the Chonhar bridge, causing significant damage and compelling Russian forces to seek alternative supply routes to Crimea.

Ukrainian military officials have confirmed a second successful strike on the Chonhar bridge in June, causing significant damage and compelling Russian forces to seek alternative supply routes. Russian-appointed authorities reported the bridge's closure on June 9, attributing it to an alleged drone attack where over 20 unmanned aerial vehicles were reportedly intercepted. Simultaneously, the bridge linking Henichesk to the Arabat Spit was also closed following an alleged Ukrainian missile strike, according to Russian-appointed officials. These incidents collectively impede transport and fuel deliveries to Crimea. Separately, Ukraine's Special Operations Forces verified hitting the Semykolodezyanska oil depot and an oil terminal in Feodosia on June 7. On the same day, Russian forces employed guided aerial bombs near a public transport stop in Balabyne, Zaporizhzhia, resulting in three fatalities and three injuries.
