Updated information
As the SOF later reported, Middle Strike units of the Special Operations Forces, in cooperation with underground members of the SOF Resistance Movement, destroyed a railway bridge across the North Crimean Canal in temporarily occupied Crimea, near the village of Rozdolne.
"It was a strategic military and logistics artery of the occupiers. The facility was part of a transport corridor used to move cargo, resources, and military and materiel assets in two key directions: from the territory of the Russian Federation through Crimea to supply the grouping of troops in the southern direction, as well as within the peninsula to maintain the functioning of Crimea’s military infrastructure," the statement said.
Details
SOF drones destroyed the bridge with precise strikes on the night of 22 June: both the railway track was destroyed and one of the spans collapsed.
At the same time, underground members of the SOF Resistance Movement reported the arrival of specialized railway repair equipment at the facility. The second phase of the mission was launched. On the night of 23 June, SOF drones struck both the repair equipment and the remaining parts of the bridge once again.
"The Special Operations Forces continue to destroy the enemy’s military logistics, reducing its offensive and defensive potential," the SOF emphasized.
