Our warriors also struck objects used by the enemy to provide military logistics and move forces and assets between the temporarily occupied territories of southern Ukraine. In particular, a road bridge over the North Crimean Canal near the settlement of Stavky and a road bridge near Voinka in the Kherson region were hit,

Addendum
Using Ukrainian-made middle-strike UAVs, the military had previously struck key Crimean bridges near Chonhar and Armyansk. The strikes were carried out using FP-2 and "Behemoth" drones. The bridge connecting the Kherson region with Crimea in Chonhar was hit twice – on the night of June 6-7, as well as on the night of June 9.
On June 8, the bridge leading from Henichesk to the Arabat Spit came under fire.
Two more bridges over the North Crimean Canal – in the area of the settlements of Preobrazhenka and Myrne near Armyansk – were attacked on June 11.
In addition, on the night of June 13, the "Dzhankoy" checkpoint, a railway bridge, and a pontoon crossing were hit. In the videos of the strikes shown by the 1st Separate Assault Regiment named after Dmytro Kotsiubailo, instead of a traditional sight, there is a green heart, which is characteristic of strike drones produced by the Fire Point company.
