The railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal near the village of Rozdolne in occupied Crimea was disabled by the Ballista unit of the Special Operations Forces (SOF), the military reported on June 19.
SOF released a footage of the attack in their post.
"Drones are changing the rules of the game faster than the Russian occupiers can lay tracks," the military wrote in the description.
"Details on cutting enemy logistics will follow later, but for now, here is a snippet of the systematic work by operators of the Ukrainian SOF's MiddleStrike drones."
They emphasized that Ukrainian defenders continue to strike the enemy to weaken its capabilities and end the war against Ukraine.
Overnight on June 18, Crimea, which was annexed by the aggressor state of Russia, came under drone attacks.
Local residents reported hearing about 20 explosions at night in the area of the railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal.
General Staff later confirmed the attack on the bridge. It was utilized by the enemy for military transportation and to support the logistics of the occupation forces.
The railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal is the most critical bridge on the Kerch–Dzhankoi railway line. If damaged, the movement of freight and passenger trains to Crimea will be completely paralyzed, Krymsky Veter (Crimean Wind) monitoring channel noted.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
