Ukrainian forces target Crimean infrastructure amid ongoing hostilities

Ukrainian forces targeted Crimean oil and transport infrastructure, including two drone attacks on the Chonhar bridge, while Russian forces launched guided aerial bombs at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region.
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.
