Ukraine strikes three bridges in Donbas, military sites

Ukraine launched a series of strikes overnight on key infrastructure in eastern Ukraine and Russia's Moscow Oblast, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In the occupied Donetsk region, a road bridge near Novoazovsk was hit. The head of the Novoazovsk district, appointed by Moscow, confirmed the bridge was partially destroyed, with one lane completely unusable and the other damaged. This is the second strike on this bridge, the first having occurred on June 16.

Two railway bridges in Luhansk Oblast were also targeted. The Ukrainian General Staff reported strikes on a military supply depot, three drone control points, and one electronic warfare facility in the same region. Additionally, two sites in Moscow Oblast used for military communications were reportedly hit.

These operations are part of Ukraine's sustained strategy to disrupt Russian military logistics in occupied territories. In June, Ukraine also struck bridges connecting the Kherson region to Crimea and a railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal. Ukrainian officials have stated their goal is to isolate Crimea, turning it into an "island," and to pressure Russia into ending the conflict.
