Ukrainian forces have confirmed a successful strike on the Armenian Bridge in temporarily occupied Crimea, resulting in the destruction of 50 Russian military vehicles.

The operation, which took place on June 11, has completely paralyzed a critical logistics route used by Russian forces to transport essential supplies, according to The Kyiv Independent.

The 1st Separate Assault Battalion "Da Vinci" announced the successful outcome of the mission, stating that the bridge is now out of service and that no further assaults are required to maintain its disabled status.

The military vehicles destroyed during the operation were loaded with ammunition and fuel intended for use by Russian forces near Huliaipole in the Zaporizhzhia region.

This operation comes as part of a wider strategic effort by Ukrainian forces to disrupt Russian logistics during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Throughout the night, monitoring channels and local authorities reported multiple strikes on military targets across the occupied Crimean peninsula, including damage to several other bridges.

Volodymyr Saldo, the official appointed by Russia to lead the temporarily occupied parts of the Kherson region, acknowledged that Ukrainian strikes hit bridges near the settlements of Preobrazhenka and Mirne, the road bridge on the Perekop-Armiansk highway, and a bridge near the village of Stavky.

The ongoing campaign is designed to isolate the Crimean peninsula from Russia by severing key supply routes. These paths have been vital for transporting weapons, fuel, and other supplies to Russian troops on occupied territories.

Robert Brovdi, commander of the unmanned systems forces, known by the call sign "Magyar", addressed the broader strategy in an interview with Reuters on June 11. Speaking from a command post near the front line, he stated, “We will isolate Crimea in the near future.”

Overnight June 11, Ukrainian forces reportedly conducted strikes targeting four bridges linking Russia-occupied areas of the Kherson region with Crimea.

Saldo said there was initial evidence of damage and that specialists were examining the structures to determine their condition.

According to him, the affected crossings included bridges over the North Crimean Canal near the settlements of Preobrazhenka and Myrne, a road bridge on the Perekop–Armiansk route, and a bridge in the vicinity of Stavky.
