Ukrainian forces target Crimean infrastructure, causing transport disruptions
Ukrainian forces continued targeting infrastructure in occupied Crimea, confirming strikes on oil depots and causing damage to the Chonhar bridge. Further attacks on June 9 led to the closure of the Chonhar and Arabat Spit bridges, resulting in fuel supply issues.
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. These incidents led to reports of fuel supply issues in Crimea, with sales halted on June 11 due to transport challenges. Sources: Громадське, Радіо Свобода, Суспільне Новини, Українська правда
