Ukrainian Drone Strike Disables Strategic Chonhar Bridge
Ukrainian military forces successfully targeted the Chonhar Bridge on June 15, 2026, using kamikaze drones to damage the primary logistical corridor between occupied Crimea and the Kherson mainland. Russian-installed officials suspended traffic through the Dzhankoi road checkpoint indefinitely to assess structural integrity. The bridge is a critical supply artery for Russian manpower and heavy equipment, and its closure significantly complicates Moscow's efforts to sustain its defensive posture across the southern frontline as Ukrainian pressure intensifies.
