Video shows moment of alleged strike on bridge to Crimea

A video showing the moment of an alleged Ukrainian strike on a bridge connecting the occupied Crimean peninsula to Kherson Oblast appeared on social networks on June 22.

The relevant footage was shared by Russian propagandists, so it is difficult to verify its authenticity.

The video from CCTV cameras shows how a missile likely hit an object followed by an explosion.

The bridge, near the village of Chonhar on the administrative border between Kherson Oblast and occupied Crimea, was allegedly attacked overnight on June 22, the Kremlin-appointed head of the Crimean occupation authority, Sergey Aksyonov, claimed.

Volodymyr Saldo, the Moscow-appointed head of the Kherson occupation authority, expressed concern about the shelling of several other bridges between Kherson Oblast and the occupied Crimea near Chonhar.

“The connection between Kherson Oblast and Crimea continues to operate, as vehicle traffic has been temporarily organized onto a backup route," Saldo said.

Ukrainian military intelligence spokesman, Andriy Yusov, succinctly reacted to the strike on the bridge, saying "to be continued."

This is planned work that is ongoing, he added.
