During the night of June 15, Ukrainian drones targeted a bridge over the Hruzkyi Yelanchyk River in Novoazovsk, Donetsk region, and hit Russian military trucks crossing it.
According to Petro Andriushchenko, the bridge had been repaired by Russian forces in 2024 to handle a significantly larger volume of military and cargo traffic.
Traffic across the damaged bridge remains partially restricted, with vehicles currently able to use only one lane.
The bridge is located on the M14 highway and serves as the main route connecting Russia to Mariupol, making it a key logistics corridor for transport into the occupied city.

On the night of June 15, the Ukrainian Defense Forces also launched renewed strikes on bridges leading to the occupied Crimean Peninsula.
During the overnight attack, a bridge near Chonhar was reportedly damaged again. In addition, a bridge connecting Henichesk with the Arabat Spit was also damaged.
The noose is tightening around the Crimean neck.
“A bridge, a refinery, wait a bridge, a refinery, a refinery a bridge, wait, our orcish heads are spinning! I need gas, need to get off this island, I need to work to buy gas, wait theres no gas, how can I get off this island to work and… not buy gas? Oh, my orcish head is spinning!!!”
