Ukrainian forces continue strikes on crimea, targeting infrastructure and military sites

Ukrainian forces continued their campaign against Russian supply lines to Crimea, striking the "Crimean Titan" plant and critically damaging the Chonhar bridge, while Russia claimed all connecting bridges were hit.

Ukrainian forces maintained their efforts to disrupt Russian supply lines to Crimea, with a strike by Unmanned Systems Forces on the "Crimean Titan" plant in Armiansk on June 13. 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. Commander Brovdi reiterated Ukraine's objective to isolate Crimea by controlling the "Novorossiya" highway. Separately, a Russian attack on Konotop resulted in one fatality.
