The strike comes amid earlier disruptions to key logistics routes linking occupied Crimea with southern Ukraine. On the night of June 13, Ukrainian forces carried out a series of drone attacks targeting Russian-controlled transport infrastructure connecting temporarily occupied Crimea with temporariky occupied areas in southern Ukraine.
According to the 1st Separate Assault Brigade named after Dmytro Kotsiubailo, as well as Russian-installed officials in occupied Kherson region, the strikes hit the Dzhankoi checkpoint, a railway bridge, a pontoon crossing, and military transport vehicles in the Chonhar area—one of the key logistical corridors linking Crimea with occupied southern territories.
Footage and statements released by the unit on June 13 indicate that the operation was intended to disrupt Russian attempts to repair and restore damaged crossings in the region. The brigade also noted that truck traffic has increasingly been redirected to temporary pontoon bridges established after earlier attacks on transport routes.
Ukraine’s Defense Forces have also recently struck the Russian shadow fleet tanker FINA A in the Black Sea, alongside a series of attacks on military logistics infrastructure and command facilities supporting Russian operations.
