Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SOF) say they destroy a major railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal in Russian-occupied Crimea. In a statement posted on Telegram, the SOF says the bridge “no longer exists” after an attack. The forces describe the rail crossing as a strategic route for Russian military logistics, used to move cargo, resources and military supplies between annexed Crimea and mainland Russia across the Kerch Strait.
Both reports attribute the damage to drone strikes. One outlet says the attack targets the structure and emphasizes the bridge’s role as a logistics “artery” for Russian occupiers. The other adds that drones hit the bridge in multiple phases, damaging repair equipment after earlier hits.
Russia has not issued a confirmed public response in the provided accounts, and independent verification of the reported damage or the timing of the strikes is not included. Crimea’s annexation by Russia in 2014 is internationally recognized as part of Ukraine.
