 Ukraine strikes bridges in Crimea with NATO-supplied missiles. Ukraine has launched a barrage of British-supplied storm-shadow missiles at two bridges connecting the Crimean Peninsula to Russia's Kursan region, according to its acting governor Vladimir Saldov. Some 12 missiles were fired during last Saturday's attack, with at least three making it through Russian anti-aircraft defences, Saldov told Russia 24 TV Channel. The strike damaged two bridges across the Strait of Chonga and the Tonki Strait, the official stated. The Chonga Bridge sustained at least one hit, according to the acting governor, who shared imagery of the aftermath of the attack on his Telegram channel. The missile left a large hole in the bridge deck-paving images show. The attack damaged a rural school and ruptured a local gas pipeline, leaving the nearby town of Genichesk without supply, according to Saldov. Both bridges have hardly been used for military needs and are purely civilian infrastructure installations, he stressed. Saldov said that the armed forces of Ukraine struck the bridge across the Henechesk Strait, connecting occupied Henechesk with the Arabat Spit. The Strelkov Field Henechesk gas pipeline running next to the bridge was also blocked. More than 20,000 city residents were left without gas supply, said Saldov. He assures that this bridge has no important military significance and that the damage, according to preliminary data, is small, while Saldov did not elaborate on the damage sustained by the second bridge. Unverified footage circulating online suggests one of the sections has partially collapsed. The images show a gas pipeline running alongside the bridge ruptured and aflame. The bridges linking the northern part of the Crimean Peninsula and Kursan region were targeted by Ukraine in another major attack back in June. At that time, the Chongar Bridge sustained considerable damage and ended up shut down for several weeks during repairs.
