Ukrainian forces struck a railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal near Vladyslavivka in occupied Crimea, according to Ukraine’s General Staff. The attack took place during the night of Sept. 6-7 and targeted Russian military assets in several occupied areas.

The General Staff said Russian forces use the bridge for military logistics. The railway line carries heavy equipment and fuel to Russia’s grouping on the southern front, making the crossing a strategically important link in the military supply network.

Ukraine also reported strikes on Russian command posts in Nyzhnii Naholchyk and Dovzhanske in Luhansk Oblast and Azovske in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. An automated Grenader technical reconnaissance post in Perekop, Crimea, and a Russian ammunition depot near Teple in Luhansk Oblast were also targeted.

The extent of the damage remained under assessment. The railway bridge had previously come under drone attack on June 18. The Ukrainian General Staff described the latest operation as part of a broader series of strikes against Russian military targets in temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories.
