Ukrainian troops use UK-supplied 'Storm Shadow Missiles' to strike key bridges in Crimea

The Chonhar bridge, which connects mainland Ukraine to Crimea, and a smaller bridge across the Tonky Strait were both targeted and damaged in the attacks.

The strikes are a significant blow to Russia's military, as they make it more difficult for troops to move in and out of Crimea. The peninsula is of both military and economic importance to Russia, and the attacks could have a significant impact on its ability to project power in the region.

The strikes were carried out in response to three waves of attacks launched by Russia on Ukraine during the previous night. The attacks killed at least 10 people and injured dozens more.

The Ukrainian military has said that it will continue to target Russian infrastructure in Crimea in retaliation for the attacks on Ukraine. (ILKHA)
