Ukraine has destroyed a major bridge linking Crimea to the Russian mainland, according to Ukrainian officials. The attack is part of a campaign to isolate the Russian-annexed peninsula and disrupt military supply lines.
Hours later, Russia launched a ballistic missile strike on Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The attack caused multiple casualties, Ukrainian authorities reported.
The bridge destruction is one of the most significant blows to Russian infrastructure in Crimea since the war began. It cuts a key road and rail route used to move troops and equipment.
