Russia: Ukraine Strike Destroys Bridge Connecting Crimea To South Ukraine

On Thursday, a Russian official said a strike has damaged a bridge connecting the annexed Crimean peninsula to a region of southern Ukraine partially held by Russia.

On Telegram, Sergei Aksyonov, the Crimea governor appointed by Russia, said, “During the night a strike hit the Chongar bridge. There are no victims”.

The bridge connects the Ukrainian region of Kherson to Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.

Vladimir Saldo, the Russia-installed governor of Kherson, stated that Ukrainian strikes had hit bridges near Chongar, alongside images of what seemed to be large holes in a bridge.

In recent months, Crimea has been repeatedly targeted by strikes, most of which have been conducted using drones.
