The Crimean Bridge, which links the annexed peninsula to mainland Russia, was hit by two strikes in an attack a Ukrainian security official told CNN Kyiv was responsible for. Here's what you need to know.
The crossing is a vital artery for supplying Russia’s ongoing war on Ukraine, allowing people and goods to flow into the Ukrainian territories that Moscow has occupied in the south and east of the country. Also known as the Kerch Bridge, it holds personal value for Russian President Vladimir Putin. In the Kremlin narrative it marks the “reunification” of Crimea with the Russian mainland.
Ukraine’s counteroffensive has been advancing into the Kherson region, which is just north of Crimea. The Ukrainian military’s General Staff said last week that in the south of Ukraine, in particular in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson directions, Russian forces are focusing their main efforts on preventing further advance of Ukrainian troops.
