Ukraine strikes bridge linking Crimea to mainland in blow to Russia’s supply lines
Alternative routes require hours-long detours over roads in poor condition. Russia’s RIA new agency quoted Russian-installed transport officials in Crimea as saying repairing it could take weeks.
The bridge is beyond range of the battlefield rockets Ukraine has used for a year, but within reach of newly deployed weapons such as British and French air-launched cruise missiles, allowing Kyiv to hit logistics routes Russia had deemed safe just weeks ago.The strike was “a blow to the military logistics of the occupiers,” said Yuriy Sobolevsky, a Ukrainian official on the governing body for the Kherson region.
“The psychological impact on the occupiers and the occupying power is even more important. There is no place on the territory of Kherson region where they can feel safe,” he said.Russian investigators said four missiles had been fired by Ukrainian forces at the bridge, the RIA news agency reported. It quoted a spokesman for military investigators as saying that markings found on the remains of one of the missiles suggested it had been made in France.
