Ukrainian forces continued their targeting of infrastructure in occupied Crimea and surrounding areas. On June 7, Ukraine's Special Operations Forces confirmed successful strikes on the Semikolodezyansk oil depot and a Feodosia oil terminal. Satellite imagery later revealed damage to the Chonhar bridge from a June 7 attack, showing impact marks and the deployment of a pontoon crossing nearby. Subsequently, Russian-appointed officials reported further transport disruptions on June 9. The Chonhar bridge was reportedly closed again after an alleged drone attack, with over 20 unmanned aerial vehicles claimed to have been intercepted. Additionally, the bridge linking Henichesk to the Arabat Spit was also closed following what Russian-appointed authorities described as an attempted Ukrainian missile strike.
