Ukrainian forces struck the last functional overland bridge into Russian-occupied Crimea on the night of June 11, destroying a supply convoy of roughly 50 vehicles carrying fuel and ammunition at the Armiansk crossing, the 1st Separate Assault Regiment named after Dmytro Kotsiubailo confirmed.

The convoy had concentrated at Armiansk after Ukraine rendered the Chonhar Bridge, one of Crimea’s two main overland road links to the mainland, unusable through earlier strikes.
“Due to the fact that the Chonhar Bridge has been damaged, the enemy concentrated a large number of trucks with military cargo, which moved through Armyansk,” regiment commander Dmytro “Perun” Filatov said on Suspilne Studio. “There were about 50 cars there, and some of them were destroyed.”
The attack was the fourth consecutive day of Ukrainian mid-range drone strikes on Crimea’s land corridors. Vladimir Saldo, the Russian-installed governor of occupied Kherson Oblast, confirmed damage to four bridges at the peninsula’s northwestern entrance, including spans over the North Crimean Canal near Preobrazhenka and Myrne, a road bridge on the Perekop-Armiansk route, and a crossing near Stavky, and published two alternate detour routes for traffic.
Prior to this, Ukraine had struck the Chonhar Bridge on June 7 and June 9, and the Henichesk-Arabat Spit crossing on June 10, closing each alternative route before targeting the last.
Filatov credited the sequential approach. “This operation would not have been possible if other units had not been striking Mariupol and the road to Berdiansk. We understood this and blocked those routes fairly quickly,” he said.
Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces (USF), told Reuters the campaign cut traffic on the R-280 “Novorossiya” highway, Russia’s primary supply corridor to Crimea via Mariupol, by 71% over the past two weeks.
Russia’s military command banned military cargo on the route starting June 7, Brovdi said. “We will isolate Crimea in the near future,” he added.
