Ukrainian missiles struck one of the few bridges linking the Crimea Peninsula with the Ukrainian mainland early on Thursday, cutting one of the main supply routes for Russian occupation forces in southern Ukraine as Kyiv pushes to drive them out.
Vladimir Saldo, the head of the Russian-installed administration in occupied parts of Ukraine's Kherson province, released video of himself on the Chonhar road bridge, where craters had been blasted through the asphalt.
"Another meaningless act perpetrated by the Kyiv regime on orders from London. It solves nothing as far as the special military operation is concerned," he said, vowing to repair the bridge and restore traffic.
He threatened to retaliate by targeting a bridge linking neighbouring Moldova to NATO-member Romania: "A very serious response is coming very soon."
The Chonhar bridge hit overnight is one of just a handful of access roads to Crimea, which is linked to the Ukrainian mainland by a narrow isthmus.
Alternative routes require hours-long detours over roads in poor condition. Russia's RIA new agency quoted Russian-installed transport officials in Crimea as saying repairing it could take weeks.

Hmm, and does this genius think the rebuilt bridge won’t just be blown up again? It’s much cheaper, easier, and quicker to destroy a bridge than it is to rebuild one.
“He threatened to retaliate by targeting a bridge linking neighbouring Moldova to NATO-member Romania”
I know Putin lets his puppy Medvedyev threaten NATO all the time, but does he really want one of his lowly provincial administrators going rogue and starting WW3?
The pictures at the link don’t look any worse than some Milwaukee roads.
That bad, huh?
Regards,
Ukraine may just destroy that bridge
Well they did likely destroy the dam so why not?
At least they are now taking responsibility instead of claiming that Russia blew up its own bridge.
good news! thanks

It’s really hard to understand why Russia is not interdicting resupply routes within Ukraine.
I understand not attacking ports of entry in Europe - but not leaving rail and road supply routes in Western Ukraine alone.

Russians are losing?
