Ukraine Intensifies Strikes on Russian Supply Lines and Fuel Infrastructure in Crimea, While Russia Expands Northern Bases Ukrainian forces have continued to disrupt critical supply routes connecting occupied Kherson Oblast to Crimea, targeting bridges and logistics corridors to hinder Russian military operations. On June 11, Kherson Oblast occupation head Vladimir Saldo reported that Ukrainian strikes had damaged several key bridges, including those over the North Crimean Canal near Preobrazhenka and Myrne, the Perekop-Armyansk Road Bridge, and the Stavky Road Bridge. These bridges, which run along the M-17 Armyansk-Oleshky highway, are vital for Russian forces transporting fuel and ammunition to occupied Crimea. Saldo claimed the strikes caused unspecified damage, while a Ukrainian regiment commander confirmed that attacks on the Armyansk route had destroyed or damaged approximately 50 Russian military cargo vehicles. The strikes were part of a broader campaign to sever Russian supply lines. Ukrainian forces reportedly targeted the Chonhar bridge, which connects Kherson to Crimea, after previous strikes on June 7–8 and June 9 damaged the bridge. Russian authorities temporarily closed traffic through Chonhar on June 9 due to the damage. The commander noted that prior Ukrainian strikes on Mariupol and the Berdyansk road had forced Russian forces to divert supplies via Crimea’s GLOCs instead of routes from occupied Donetsk Oblast. Satellite imagery published on June 10 showed the aftermath of Ukrainian strikes on bridges south of Henichesk and near Armyansk, further disrupting Russian logistics.#russia #ukraine #crimea #kherson_oblast #sevastopol
