Ukrainian forces target Crimea supply routes and Sevastopol military facility

Ukrainian forces conducted missile strikes on June 11, targeting Russian military assets in Sevastopol with a "Neptune" missile and disrupting key supply routes to Crimea, including the Chonhar bridge.

Ukrainian forces conducted missile strikes on June 11, targeting Russian military assets in Sevastopol with a "Neptune" missile and disrupting key supply routes to Crimea. The Chonhar bridge sustained critical damage following a second Ukrainian strike in June, leading to its complete blockage and compelling Russian forces to seek alternative supply routes. Additionally, the bridge connecting Henichesk to the Arabat Spit was closed after an attempted strike. Russian-appointed Kherson official Vladimir Saldo claimed that Ukrainian forces struck all bridges connecting mainland Ukraine to occupied Crimea, including those over the North Crimean Canal and the Perekop-Armyansk road. Ukraine's Commander of Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert Brovdi, reiterated Ukraine's objective to isolate Crimea by gaining full control of the "Novorossiya" highway. Separately, Russian forces attacked Konotop, resulting in one fatality.
