Ukrainian forces target Crimean infrastructure, damaging industrial plant and bridges

Ukrainian forces continued operations targeting Russian logistics and military infrastructure in and around Crimea, striking the "Crimean Titan" plant and critically damaging the Chonhar bridge.

Ukrainian forces maintained efforts to disrupt Russian supply lines and military infrastructure in and around Crimea. On June 13, Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces struck the "Crimean Titan" plant in Armiansk. Commander Robert Brovdi reported a subsequent fire and production halt at the facility, which he stated was involved in Russia's military-industrial complex. Earlier, on June 11, a "Neptune" missile hit a Russian military object in Sevastopol. The Chonhar bridge sustained critical damage from a second Ukrainian attack, rendering it impassable and prompting Russia to seek alternative logistics routes. Russian-appointed Kherson official Vladimir Saldo claimed on June 11 that all bridges connecting mainland Ukraine to occupied Crimea were targeted, specifying locations near Preobrazhenka, Myrne, Perekop-Armiansk, and Stavky. Commander Brovdi reiterated Ukraine's objective to isolate Crimea by controlling the "Novorossiya" highway. Separately, a Russian attack on Konotop resulted in one fatality.
