Traffic across the Chonhar Bridge in the occupied part of the Kherson Region has been blocked again. The occupiers claim they were attacked by Ukrainian drones.
Collaborator Volodymyr Saldo reported the attack.
He stated that a group of drones was moving toward the bridge, and more than 20 of them were shot down before reaching their target.
This is the second such incident in recent days. Earlier, on June 7, he reported a strike on the same bridge, after which traffic was restored in alternating directions.
As a reminder, on the night of Sunday, June 7, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Semykolodezianska oil depot near the village of Lenine in the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. As a result of the attack, a fire was reported on the facility’s grounds.
In addition, the russian company "Grand Service Express" announced a temporary suspension of passenger train service in occupied Crimea following the nighttime drone attack.
