Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SOF) announced the destruction of a strategic railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal, near the locality of Rozdolne, in Russian-occupied Crimea.
The information comes from the Ukrainian outlet Militarnyi. According to the military, the structure was used to transport cargo, fuel, equipment and supplies intended for Russian forces in southern Ukraine.
According to the statement, the operation took place in two phases. In the first, Ukrainian drones carried out precision strikes during the night of June 21 to 22, destroying part of the railway track and one of the bridge spans. Images released by the SOF show significant damage to the structure.
After the initial strike, members of the Ukrainian resistance in occupied territories reported the arrival of a train and specialized equipment to repair the damage. In the second phase of the operation, carried out the following night, drones attacked the site again, hitting both the repair train and the remaining sections of the bridge.
The attack is part of a broader campaign by Kyiv to disrupt Russian logistics in Crimea. In recent weeks, Ukrainian forces have intensified attacks against fuel depots, energy facilities, bridges and transport corridors on the peninsula, seeking to reduce the supply capacity of Russian troops and increase the cost of occupying the territory.
Ukrainian authorities say the destruction of the bridge represents another step in efforts to isolate Crimea from the main supply routes used by Russia, especially those linked to southern Ukraine and the Kerch Strait.
