Summary
Traffic on the Henichesk-Arabat Spit bridge in occupied Kherson was suspended early Wednesday after Russian-installed officials reported a Ukrainian missile strike and sent emergency crews to assess damage.
The crossing links Henichesk to the Arabat Spit, a route toward occupied Crimea that has grown more important after repeated Ukrainian attacks damaged the Chonhar bridges used for Russian military logistics.
Andriy Kovalenko, head of Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation, said Wednesday that the strategically important Chonhar bridge had been destroyed, while no Ukrainian military statement or independent confirmation followed on the Arabat Spit strike.
Eight occupied Kherson districts also lost power overnight after reported Ukrainian drone attacks, underscoring Kyiv’s broader campaign to disrupt Russian supply lines that has already contributed to shortages in Crimea.
