The photo was taken on 12 June at 8:19 am.
According to the images, lorries are crossing a temporary pontoon bridge towards the occupied part of the Kherson region.
"The main bridge had previously been damaged by two strikes from the Ukrainian Armed Forces and closed. In this same image, two clusters of lorries heading towards the mainland can be seen: 17 lorries and several cars are standing in front of the pontoon bridge, and a further 15 lorries are to the south, in front of the Dzhankoy checkpoint.
At the same time, there are no passenger cars or lorries travelling towards Crimea visible in the satellite image, although the peninsula continues to experience a shortage of fuel and certain everyday goods," the publication writes.
What led up to this?
- The 475th Separate Assault Regiment of the Ukrainian Ground Forces CODE 9.2 reported that, together with pilots from the 1st Separate Assault Regiment named after Dmytro Kotsyubailo, they struck the bridge "using Fire Point equipment and 'Behemoth' UAVs".
- On 9 June, Vladimir Saldo, a collaborator and head of the Russian occupation administration on the left bank of the Kherson region, reported a second attack on the Chongar Bridge.
- Satellite imagery captured dark spots from Ukrainian Armed Forces strikes in the central section of the Chongar Bridge, which connects the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region with Crimea.
