Ukrainian forces strike Crimean titan plant, continue targeting supply lines
Ukrainian forces continued efforts to disrupt Russian supply lines to Crimea, striking the "Crimean Titan" plant and critically damaging the Chonhar bridge, as commanders reiterate the goal of isolating the peninsula.
Ukrainian forces continued their efforts to disrupt Russian supply lines to Crimea, with a recent strike targeting the "Crimean Titan" plant in Armiansk on the night of June 13. Commander Robert Brovdi of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces reported a fire and production halt at the facility, which he stated was involved in Russia's military-industrial complex. This follows earlier strikes on June 11, including a "Neptune" missile hitting a Russian military site in Sevastopol. The Chonhar bridge sustained critical damage from a second Ukrainian attack, rendering it impassable. Russian-appointed Kherson official Vladimir Saldo claimed Ukrainian forces targeted all bridges connecting mainland Ukraine to occupied Crimea. Commander Brovdi reiterated Ukraine's objective to isolate Crimea by controlling the "Novorossiya" highway. Separately, Russian forces attacked Konotop, resulting in one fatality.
