Ukrainian forces strike Sevastopol, Chonhar bridge critically damaged
Ukrainian forces reportedly struck a Russian military facility in Sevastopol and critically damaged the Chonhar bridge, prompting Russia to seek alternative supply routes to Crimea. Ukraine aims to isolate the peninsula.
Ukrainian forces reportedly conducted a "Neptune" missile strike on a Russian military facility in Sevastopol on the night of June 11. Concurrently, 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 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. Separately, the bridge connecting Henichesk to the Arabat Spit was also closed after 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. Russian forces also attacked Konotop, resulting in one fatality.
