"The Chonhar Bridge was hit again during the night. Vehicle traffic is stopped. Gauleiter Saldo reported 20 'downed' UAVs, directly admitting that a significant portion were shot down by the bridge itself. A good trend within the framework of liquidating logistics," Andriushchenko indicated.
The Gauleiter of the Kherson region, Vladimir Saldo, stated on social media that the bridge was damaged again as a result of a drone strike, and traffic is closed once more. Transport is being redirected to alternative routes through Armyansk and Perekop.
Only the day before, the occupiers had opened the bridge for reverse traffic for vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tons following a previous strike.
Addendum
On the night of June 7, Ukrainian FP-2 and Behemoth drones attacked the Chonhar Bridge, which connects 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. After the attack, traffic on the bridge was closed. Presumably, the second strike was carried out 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.
