The Chongar Bridge has been destroyed; Russian authorities are trying to silence the situation in the temporarily occupied Crimea
Context
On the night of June 9, the Chongar Bridge, which connects Crimea with the Kherson region, suffered repeated strikes.
The first instance occurred on the night of June 7 — Ukrainian FP-2 and Behemoth drones attacked the Chongar Bridge connecting the Kherson region with Crimea. The strike was carried out by units of the Phalanx multi-domain operations center of the 1st Separate Assault Regiment and the 475th Separate Assault Regiment Code 9.2. Following the attack, traffic on the bridge was closed. Presumably, the second strike was delivered using the same means.
The R-280 highway, built by the occupation authorities, passes over the bridge, connecting Rostov-on-Don with Crimea through the occupied territories of the Donetsk region. This route is one of the key logistical paths for supplying Russian troops on the peninsula.
Ukrainian defenders are actively destroying the enemy's logistical infrastructure, both land and sea-based, as well as delivering devastating strikes deep into the Russian Federation, particularly against oil refining industry facilities.
On the night of June 8, the Grushovaya oil pumping station was hit. As reported by the Special Operations Forces, this production site of the Sheskharis transshipment complex is part of Russia's largest seaport, Novorossiysk, in the Krasnodar Krai of the RF. According to OSINT analysts, the strike was carried out by drones manufactured by Fire Point.
On the night of June 7, Middle-strike units of the Special Operations Forces struck two fuel infrastructure facilities in temporarily occupied Crimea.
The Semykolodezyanskaya oil depot in the village of Yedy-Kuyu (Lenine), located approximately 200 km from the line of combat contact, was hit. The facility is used by Russian troops as a logistical hub for the storage and transportation of fuel oil, diesel fuel, and other petroleum products.
On the night of August 8, in a series of drone strikes, the Special Operations Forces hit a junction of two Russian main oil pipelines in the Volgograd region of the RF, a radar station in the Krasnodar Krai of the RF, and an oil depot in occupied Crimea.
