Ukrainian forces target logistics in Crimea; Russian strike kills civilians in Zaporizhzhia

Ukrainian forces continued targeting Russian logistics in occupied Crimea, including critical bridges and fuel infrastructure. Separately, a Russian guided aerial bomb strike in Zaporizhzhia resulted in civilian casualties.

Ukrainian military officials confirmed a second strike on the Chonhar bridge in June, resulting in critical damage and prompting Russian forces to seek alternative supply routes. Russian-appointed authorities reported the bridge's closure on June 9 following an alleged drone attack, stating over 20 unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted. Concurrently, the bridge connecting Henichesk to the Arabat Spit was also closed after an alleged Ukrainian missile strike. These incidents further disrupt transport and fuel supplies to Crimea. Separately, Ukraine's Special Operations Forces verified hitting the Semykolodezyanska oil depot and an oil terminal in Feodosia on June 7. The same day, Russian forces used guided aerial bombs near a public transport stop in Balabyne, Zaporizhzhia, causing three deaths and three injuries.
