Russian-Installed Authorities Claim Several Bridges on Route to Crimea Damaged Overnight
Russian-installed officials in occupied Crimea reported that several bridges on the highway near Armiansk were damaged overnight on June 10-11, allegedly due to a Ukrainian attack.
Russian-appointed authorities in the occupied Crimean peninsula have claimed that multiple bridges along the main road connecting Crimea to mainland Ukraine were damaged during the night of June 10-11. The incident reportedly occurred near the town of Armiansk, located in northern Crimea close to the border with Ukraine's Kherson region.
According to the Russian-installed administration, the bridges affected are part of a key motorway that serves as a vital supply route for Russian forces in Crimea. The exact number of damaged bridges and the extent of the destruction are not yet clear. No casualties or injuries have been reported in connection with the strikes.
Ukraine has not officially responded to these allegations. In the past, Kyiv has neither confirmed nor denied specific attacks on occupied territories, but has stated that it targets military infrastructure used by Russian forces. This incident comes amid ongoing Ukrainian efforts to disrupt Russian logistics links to Crimea, which Moscow annexed in 2014.
Russian occupation officials frequently accuse Ukraine of striking civilian infrastructure, though these claims are often unverified. Ukrainian authorities maintain that they only target military objectives. The motorway near Armiansk is considered strategically important for supplying Russian troops stationed in Crimea.
The alleged attack took place on the night of June 10-11. Further details regarding the scale of the damage and any potential impact on traffic are awaited.
