Ukrainian forces reportedly conducted a "Neptune" missile strike on a Russian military facility in Sevastopol on the night of June 11. This development follows a confirmed second attack in June on the Chonhar bridge, which sustained critical damage and remains fully blocked, compelling Russian forces to seek alternative supply routes to Crimea. Russian-appointed authorities had previously reported the bridge's closure on June 9, attributing it to an alleged drone attack where over 20 unmanned aerial vehicles were reportedly intercepted. Concurrently, the bridge connecting Henichesk to the Arabat Spit was also closed following an alleged Ukrainian missile strike. Commander Robert Brovdi of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces reiterated Ukraine's objective to isolate Crimea by gaining full control of the "Novorossiya" highway. Separately, Russian forces attacked Konotop, resulting in one fatality.
