Bridge to annexed Crimea hit in Ukrainian strike

A bridge connecting Crimea and southern Ukraine has been damaged by a Ukrainian strike, local Russian authorities said on Thursday.

 

"There were no casualties," said the Russian governor of the annexed peninsular Sergei Aksionov, adding the damage was being assessed.

The bridge connects Crimea, illegally annexed by Moscow in 2014, to an area of the southern region of Kherson occupied by Russian forces. 

 

This strike reported by the Russian authorities comes as Ukrainian forces have been conducting offensive actions since early June on several sectors of the front, particularly in southern Ukraine.

Crimea serves as a logistical rear base for the Russian forces deployed in southern Ukraine.
