Overnight on June 11, Ukrainian forces struck at least seven transport infrastructure targets in the Kherson region and northern Crimea, according to reports from Russian-installed officials. The attacks targeted bridges over the North Crimean Canal near Preobrazhenka and Mirnoye, a road bridge on the Perekop–Armiansk highway, and a bridge near Stavki. The Chongar bridge, which connects Kherson region to Crimea, sustained additional damage in a separate attack on the night of June 9, Russian sources reported, significantly affecting its usability. Russia's Defense Ministry reported that air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 45 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles overnight. The strikes continue a broader pattern of Ukrainian efforts to degrade transport and logistics infrastructure used to move forces, equipment, and supplies between Crimea and Russian-controlled areas in southern Ukraine. Multiple military analysts assess the southern region and areas near the Russian border in Belgorod and Kursk oblasts may remain focal points for operations through the summer, though the full scope and primary axes of the fighting have not yet become clear.
