A unit of the Middle Strike element of the Special Operations Forces (SOF) of Ukraine, in cooperation with members of the SOF resistance movement, destroyed a railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal near the village of Rozdolne in temporarily occupied Crimea.

According to the SOF press service, on the night of June 22, SOF drones struck the bridge with precision, destroying both the railway track and causing one of the spans to collapse. The next night, resistance movement members reported the arrival of specialized railway repair equipment at the site, prompting the second phase of the mission. On the night of June 23, SOF drones struck both the repair equipment and the remaining parts of the bridge again.

The SOF stated that the bridge was a strategic military-logistics artery, part of a transport corridor for moving cargo, resources, and military materiel in two key directions: from Russian territory through Crimea to support the southern grouping of forces, and within the peninsula to sustain Crimean military infrastructure. The Special Operations Forces continue to destroy enemy military logistics, reducing its offensive and defensive potential.
