Strikes reported across Crimea and Zaporizhzhia

Ukrainian forces confirmed strikes on Crimean oil infrastructure, while Russian forces attacked Zaporizhzhia. Railway services in Crimea were suspended after a drone attack, and the Chonhar bridge was hit twice.

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces confirmed strikes on the Semikolodezyansk oil depot and a Feodosia oil terminal in occupied Crimea on June 7. Concurrently, Russian forces attacked Balabyne village in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region with guided aerial bombs on the same day, resulting in three fatalities and three injuries near a public transport stop. Following a drone attack that damaged a locomotive, killing an assistant driver and injuring the driver, Russian transport company Grand Service Express suspended passenger train services in Crimea on June 8. Russian-appointed officials also reported a drone strike on the Chonhar bridge on June 7, temporarily closing a checkpoint, though alternative routes remained open. The Chonhar bridge was reportedly attacked again by drones on June 9, leading to its renewed temporary closure, according to Russian-appointed authorities.
